The Unspoiled CIty

Located on the eastern coast of Australia, Brisbane is the capital city of Queensland. After Melbourne and Sydney, Brisbane is the third largest state capital city in Australia. Each year Brisbane attracts a large number of Australian and international visitors drawn to the area by its warm climate and sunshine, laid back atmosphere and its excellent nightlife and restaurants. It is also close to both the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, two of Australia's major holiday destinations. Brisbane is the bustling, energetic capital of Queensland, and has a beautiful sub tropical climate, a wealth of open, green public spaces and a wonderful laidback attitude to life. The city was built on the site of an old convict colony established in 1823, which later became a free settlement in 1842 and grew into a city from the riches made on the fertile, arable land and abundance of timber in the area. This city was named after the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Thomas Brisbane.
