I love living in Brisbane. The place is buzzing, the sun shines, and we practically live in the swimming pool. The only challenge for me are huge spiders. Lots! Other than those big buggers, I adore this place. Some amazing events came to town this year, from the Cultural precinct to James St to the Valley and beyond. Here are my most read Queensland stories for 2016.
