Brisbane is the state capital of Queensland. Brisbane
is the third largest city in Australia and most
populous city of Queensland. It is situated on
the Brisbane River on plains between Moreton Bay
and the Great Dividing Range in south-eastern
Queensland.
The
city is named after Sir Thomas Brisbane, the Governor
of New South Wales from 1821 – 1825. The
settlement grew from a penal colony established
at his direction in 1824 at Redcliffe, 28 kilometres
(17.4 mi) to the north. The colony moved to the
current location of the Brisbane CBD in 1825,
and free settlers were permitted from 1842. It
was chosen as the capital when Queensland was
proclaimed a separate colony in 1859.
In
1925, the City of Brisbane Act was passed by the
Queensland Government, abolishing 20 local government
authorities in the city and forming the largest
local authority in Australia, covering 1,200 square
kilometres (463.3 sq mi).
The
city played a central role in the Allied campaign
during World War II as the South West Pacific
headquarters for General Douglas MacArthur.
More
recently, Brisbane hosted the 1982 Commonwealth
Games, 1988 World's Fair (Expo '88), and 2001
Goodwill Games. (Credit:
