Brisbane is the capital and most populous city in Queensland and the third most populous city in
Australia. Brisbane is also known as the River City and has the self-proclaimed title of Australia's New
World City. Brisbane's metropolitan area has a population of over 2 million, and the South East
Queensland urban conurbation, centred around 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 approximately 23 kilometres from its mouth at Moreton Bay. The
metropolitan area extends in all directions along the floodplain of the Brisbane River valley between
the bay and the Great Dividing Range. Brisbane's metropolitan area sprawls along the Moreton Bay
floodplain from Caboolture in the north to Beenleigh in the south, and across to Ipswich in the south
west.
While the metropolitan area is governed by several municipalities, a large proportion of central
Brisbane is governed by the Brisbane City Council which is Australia's largest Local Government Area
by population. The remainder of the metropolitan area falls into the LGAs of Logan City to the south,
Moreton Bay Region in the northern suburbs, the City of Ipswich to the south west, Redland City to
the south east on the bayside, with a small strip to the far west of the Scenic Rim Region.
Brisbane has a humid subtropical climate (with warm to hot and humid summers and dry, moderately
warm winters. From November to March, thunderstorms are common over Brisbane.

Greater Brisbane. Popular with holiday makers and day-trippers, Redcliffe is an ideal mix of sandy
