Brisbane, why don’t you cross the river? (www.brisbanetimes.com.au)

Tbh it feels to me like there's not much reason to go much further across the river, it's mostly urban sprawl anyway isn't it?

Edit: to be clear I mean urban sprawl in both directions

Yeah true. There are a few possible draws, but not many. Back a decade ago, southside had the Ikea, but there's one of those north now too. If you do a suburban sport you might need to play an away game on the wrong side of the river every now and then. Everything else, outside of the inner city (with the CBD, the two major sports stadiums, the two biggest unis + one campus of the third, Southbank) has an equivalent on either side.
