Brisbane

Brisbane is the capital of Queensland, which is located in the north east of Sydney. Brisbane has
grown bigger and bigger and swallowed surrounding cities, like Logan, Beenleigh and Redcliffe.
Thirty years ago, Brisbane was considered a big country town because the city was a sleepy
place. The buildings were built in the colonial era. Others were wooden houses. High-rises were very
rare. Skyscrapers were only found in the inner city and the roads were not crowded.
However, Brisbane has grown fast in these three decades. The warm weather in Queensland
encourages people to move to Brisbane, in south-east Quensland. It’s not surprising that Brisbane has
expanded towards both Caloundra and the Gold Coast. In the west, it stretches to Toowoomba.
