Brisbane, Australia's third largest city and capital of Queensland since 1859, lies on both sides of the Brisbane River, with a total area of 1220 sq.km.
Like Sydney, Brisbane was originally a convict colony, established in 1824; but some farmers and cattle breeders also established themselves in the town's hinterland, and when transportation came to an end in 1839 it began to attract numbers of free settlers.
In Roma Street, in the northwest of the city, is the BrisbaneTransitCentre (Australian Railways), the terminus for state and interstate services, and close by is the central bus station.
Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, is one of Australia's fastest growing cities, enjoying an excellent climatic location and central positioning along the eastern seaboard.
Brisbane Airport is the first Australian airport to offer a wireless internet service throughout the terminal, allowing business travellers high speed access to email, office LAN and the web from laptops and handheld computers.
Brisbane is the adopted home of some of the world's most awarded chefs, as well as a growing number of local culinary stars who have made Brisbane one of Australia's most inventive dining havens.
