About Brisbane in Australia
Located in eastern Australia on the Pacific Ocean, Brisbane is Australia's third largest city and an administrative, commercial, industrial, and cultural center.
With a sub-tropical climate, Brisbane, the capital of Queensland and home to over one and a half million people, is situated about 1,000kms north of Sydney on Australia's eastern seaboard.
Just a short trip away, lies the glitz and golden beaches of the Gold Coast to the south, the aquatic playground of the Sunshine Coast to the North or the cooler, rural, spectacular ranges and valleys of the Darling Downs and Toowoomba to the west.
