An Introduction To Brisbane
Brisbane
is the capital and most populous city in
Queensland, and the third most populous city
in Australia. Brisbane's metropolitan area
has a population of 2.3 million, and the
South East Queensland urban conurbation,
centred on Brisbane, encompasses a
population of more than 3 million. The
Brisbane central business district stands on
the original European settlement and is
situated inside a bend of the Brisbane
River, about 15 kilometres from its mouth at
Moreton Bay. The metropolitan area extends
in all directions along the floodplain of
the Brisbane River valley between Moreton
Bay and the Great Dividing Range.
