Which areas should I avoid?

It is advisable for tourists to avoid the more disadvantaged suburbs of Woodridge, Beenleigh, Bracken Ridge, Acacia Ridge and other areas on the far outskirts of the city (15-20km from the centre).

Be careful at night on trains

Although newer trains are not divided into carriages, older trains have two doors between each carriage, meaning it would be impossible for anyone to hear you calling out if anything happens. You should therefore sit in the carriage adjacent to the driver.
