I'm afraid I don't have the specific episodes burned into my brain well enough to remember the names of them all. :)
That said, one that's burned into my brain is when they're walking along the South Bank riverside; the episode is apparently called "Ice Cream".
The shot at ~0:48 in this video: https://youtu.be/cBti7aQBMk4?si=o3sWwfKJwQ-VEa8e&t=48
Is approximately from here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Y1UmtCK5si8drVaD7 - It's not exactly the same as the show, but that's more a limitation of Google Maps; I bet you could recreate the shot. There's also usually an ice cream vendor just about there. :)
The bridge in the background is Victoria Bridge, the clock on the right is the Suncorp building (I think now demolished), the weird multi-part building next to it is Brisbane Square Library (now also a Suncorp building), and the arched building to the right of that is the Treasury Building (formerly the casino).
The rest of the shots in that episode are from various other parts in the parklands if you walk along it, including the lagoon beach, fountains, and walkway. The whole area (and the ibises) are an iconic part of Brisbane, as a legacy of Expo 88.
Aside from that, I think quite a lot of the shots in the city take place in real places, whether recognisable places like Mt Coot-Tha or random shops in the suburbs.
I haven’t watched any scenes from Bluey before (though I have a newborn now so I suspect that will soon change), but I lived in southbank for a few years during uni, basically right beside the cultural center bus stop.
I watched the clip and within a few seconds I knew exactly where in the parklands they were. Very cool, thanks for sharing. I had a similar feeling of under representation (for lack of a better term?) most of my life and while classic shows like Kath and Kim or either of the soaps show pretty quintessentially Aussie home interiors and outdoor areas, it still feels very Sydney/Melbourne.
The other show recently I’d say gave us that Brisbane feel (and a bit of homesickness, we live in NYC atm) was Love on the Spectrum: Australia. One of the guys is a bus driver in Brisbane and we’d often pause it to try and figure out if we could recognise which route.
I used to work for Suncorp (~10 years ago) in Brisbane square, pretty sure they are no longer using the building and it’s now a super company.
I’ve not watched Bluey (don't have kids of my own or niblings the right age), but am looking forward to when the time comes, so I can point out places I know.
Like many here, I grew up in Brisbane but moved elsewhere for opportunities etc. Given the cost of everything there these days I doubt I’ll make a permanent move back, but I do get nostalgic seeing the locations and the little details represented so well.
