Together Brisbane

Brisbane has come together, battled adversity and our beautiful city has emerged with a renewed sense of energy and enthusiasm.
Brisbane's lord mayor hopes a Beatles cover song "Come Together" and a sexy television advertisement can boost the city's flood recovery and lure back Australian and international visitors.
Lord Mayor Graham Quirk launched the Together Brisbane marketing campaign on Wednesday, promoting the message that Brisbane is open for business following January's floods.
The floods stripped $3 billion from the city's economy.
Brisbane bands the Hungry Kids of Hungary and Ball Park Music were commissioned to record a uniquely Queensland version of the song.
They performed it live at the launch at King George Square today, after the rain eased.
Print, radio and television media companies have signed up to provide $3 million worth of pro bono advertising time and space, Mr Quirk said.
He said residents had the opportunity to participate in the campaign by creating their own ads, and uploading them on the campaign's website www.togetherbrisbane.com.au and social media sites.
