Here is a very interesting article from the Brisbane Times (thanks Kiara)-
Three little words to sell Brisbane
Staff reporters

How would you describe Brisbane in three words?
How would you sell Brisbane to the rest of the world?
Yesterday, Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said the city needed to settle its identity issues and work out what its key strengths were.
We’ve asked local identities from across the cultural, business, tourism and media fields to reveal three words they would use to promote Brisbane.

And we’re seeking your views as well – go to the comments section and tell us what three adjectives you think would work well to promote the city.
Cr Quirk today told us the city’s vision as a “smart-thinking, easy-living world class city” was not going to change, but he wanted to find ways for Brisbane to promote itself.
“We know we have tremendous weather, it is a fantastic climate to visit,” he said.
“But it is that other thing, that other hook that will attract people that we are looking for.”
