From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brisbane (local nickname Brissie) is the capital of Queensland in the northeast of Australia.
The Brisbane River flows through the city.
1,730,000 people live there and there is both a Catholic and a Protestant Bishop.
Brisbane was founded in 1824 and was meant at first for prisoners who were embarked to Australia. The name comes from a Governor of New South Wales, Sir Thomas Brisbane.
