Swindon, compared to Brisbane, no competition, Swindon wins hands down. Whats Brisbane got, the ocean ,well that's full of dangerous sharks and stuff, it's the home of Steve Irwin's famous zoo, and look what happened to him when he went in the ocean. Swindon has TWO Rivers , the Cole and Ray. Brisbane has the Gold Coast , where the temp is normally between 85 for a high and 51 for a low, a wonderful bay with islands, fabulous beaches, great seafood restaurants, well Swindon has got the Wilts and Berks Canal that there restoring , nothing more dangerous in them than an odd bike and shopping trolley or two, one up for Swindon.
Brisbane has the Queensland Museum and Sciencentre , Swindon has the Museum of Computing , put that in your pipe and smoke it Brissie. Oh yeah,Brisbane has got the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, Swindon had got The Museum of the Great Western Railway, home to only good old Number 11 , OLIVER, a Great Western Tank Engine in Thomas The Tank Engine, what you got to say now Brisbane ? OH big deal Brisbane ,you have got the Botanical Gardens ,that's nothing compared to Mrs Jackson's Hollyhocks collection down by Liquor World off of Pinehurst Road .
This is just scratching the surface comparing the two places but I think my dear Mr Bunburygills you will agree with me when I say that 99% of people living in Brisbane,would, given the chance ,HAPPILY move to Swindon if they could get The Ten Pound Poms Scheme boat ticket they got to go to Australia ,reversed.
