The G20 is happening this weekend and no one knows it better than the great people of Brisbane.
Police and other important people have been in preparation for over a year. But all Brisbanites know about G20 is that they got a day off for it.
Thanks, Obama.
To get people a bit more enthusiastic about the events of this weekend, G20 organisers made a ‘welcome to Brisbane’ video.
That didn’t go down too well with everyone who has ever lived in the city.
In classic Queenslander style, a group called Collective Noun have recreated the video and introduced visitors to the real Brisbane – from deadly aquatic life to Stefan’s random ‘sky needle’ and the beautiful brown shade of the Brisbane River.
It’s been viewed over 68,000 times. Of course.
If you’re from Brisbane, you’ll be able to relate to everything in this video. If you’re not, this shows you what the real Brisbane is like.
No bullshit.

I'm going to agree with you Chrystal. I too love Brisbane. Moved here 5 years ago from snoring old Perth. Live in Brisbane and your an hours drive from either a sunshine coast or a gold coast. What a life we live!!
Haters gonna hate. I LOVE BRISBANE and clearly so do most people in VIC and NSW who keep moving up here.....I love our huge tidal river, I love our weather, our trees and our city. So Collective Noun can take their satirical negativity and move to Melbourne.
As a Brissy boy, I love that we don't take ourselves too seriously. I
also love the large country town that I was born and raised in and often still wish I was living there. I've lived in most of our state capitals and Bris Vegas is by far the best of them ... Darwin comes very close though.
Long may King Wally reign over us!!
I love Brisbane too! Genuinely great place to live! It has the best of everything!
