My posts might be a little harder for Singaporeans to relate to as I'm currently residing in Brisbane, Australia for my studies. Studying in a foreign land does give me the opportunity to check out various fun-spots and tourist spots. Ultimately, I do hope my posts can help those who are keen on having a vacation in Queensland , Australia- namely in Brisbane. Hence, the Headline for my post will be "Saturdays @ QLD".
(18/04/2009) Unlike Singapore, the easter holidays here span for a week. This week is used mainly for rushing of reports and preparation for mid semester breaks. Last Saturday, we decided to try our luck at winning air tickets back to Singapore at the Conrad Treasury Casino.
With over 80 gaming tables and 1300 gaming machines, this casino is the biggest in Queensland. The Casino is located at William Street inside the Central Business District. It is easily accessible by Bus services, trains and the CityCat (Ferry service on the Brisbane river). If you are staying at the suburbs and want to take a cab, do share it with your friends as the cab fare can be quite high. From where I'm staying (St. Lucia), the 10 minute Taxi ride can amount up to AUD $16.00.

No, I did not win an air ticket back as I did not play. For those who feel that gambling is not their thing, there's a nice bar and a live band area. I'm not so sure about the prices of the drinks as I did my drinks out of the casino. The outside the casino can get a tad bit rowdy due to 2 bars being near the casino. There is a never ending line of Taxis in that area so getting back to your accomodation should not be much of a problem.
Till the next Saturday..Cheers Mate
