About Brisbane...

 
Information

Brisbane is the capital of the state of Queensland. It has a population of about 1.8 million people, and is the third-largest, and fastest growing, city in Australia. It is set close to the Pacific Ocean, and is situated beside the Brisbane River on plains between Moreton Bay and the Great Dividing Range in southeastern Queensland.

History of Brisbane

In 1823, John Oxley was the first to explore Brisbane, which was then selected by the colony of New South Wales as the location for a new gaol, intended to house dangerous prisoners in a remote location. In 1837, free settlers moved to the area and pushed to close the gaol and to release the land in the area.
In 1859, a gold rush led to the establishment of the colony of Queensland with Brisbane as its capital. The city is named in honour of Sir Thomas Brisbane who was Governor of New South Wales from 1821-1825.

Nightlife


Brisbane's drinking and nightlife scene is separated into some distinct areas. Anyone planning a night on the town should be aware that after 3am no more patrons are allowed into pubs and clubs. This is a safety measure, coupled with increased security presence at taxi ranks. Additionally, smokers should beware of strict anti-smoking regulations. Smoking is now banned in 'all areas where food & drink is served', both indoors & outdoors. This means that smoking is banned in all hotels, clubs, & cafes.
Brisbane City - trendy bars

The Fortitude Valley - is a unique area of Brisbane catering to the live music scene. A large number of Brisbane's hippest clubs are located here.

West End - Less crowded than 'the valley' or the city, this bohemian district popular with locals offers a few hip clubs, intimate restaurants and a very laid back atmosphere.
