Brisbane

Brisbane is the capital city of Queensland, Australia, and the country's third-largest city by population. Located on the Brisbane River in south-east Queensland, it serves as a major economic and administrative hub for the state. The city has a population of approximately 2.6-million people in its greater metropolitan area. Brisbane's economy is diverse, with strengths in mining services, finance, technology, education, healthcare and tourism. The city is home to the headquarters and regional offices of numerous mining and resources companies that operate across Queensland and the broader Asia-Pacific region, reflecting the state's position as a major minerals and energy producer. Brisbane's port facilities handle significant volumes of coal, liquefied natural gas and other commodities. The city's infrastructure includes an international airport, extensive road and rail networks, and a growing public transport system. Brisbane hosted the 2032 Summer Olympics, awarded by the International Olympic Committee in 2021. The city was founded as a penal colony in 1824 and was opened to free settlement in 1842, later becoming the capital of the newly separated colony of Queensland in 1859.
