About Brisbane

Brisbane is the capital of Queensland, located on Australia’s eastern seaboard, along the Brisbane River, which flows into Moreton Bay, about about 920 km (570 miles) north of Sydney. The city stretches along the Brisbane River, roughly 15–20 km upstream from its mouth in Moreton Bay. Greater Brisbane covers a large area that includes coastal and inland suburbs, the islands of Moreton Bay, and nearby green belts.

With a population of about 1.36 million, Brisbane is the largest city in Queensland and the third most populous in Australia. The Greater Brisbane metropolitan area, which includes Brisbane and Moreton Bay, is home to around 2.7 million people and spans approximately 6,460 km².

Founded as a British settlement in the 1820s, Brisbane has grown into a vibrant cultural and economic hub on Australia’s east coast. The city is renowned for its museums, galleries, and festivals—particularly the Brisbane Festival and the spectacular Riverfire fireworks show over the river.

Brisbane offers something for everyone: from strolling along the South Bank Parklands and relaxing in its gardens, to exploring museums and art galleries or shopping at Queen Street Mall.
