City Orientation and Maps

(Brisbane, Queensland (QLD), Australia)

The city of Brisbane lies on the eastern shore of Australia, in between both the Tasman Sea and the Coral Sea. Situated within the state of Queensland, Brisbane is famous for its water sports and surfing conditions, lying close to Southport, the Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise to the south, Dalby, Ipswich and Toowoomba to the west, and Sandgate, Kingaroy, Maryborough and Bundaberg to the north.

Brisbane city centre is an important area of commerce and is edged by the meandering Brisbane River to the south, approximately 25 km / 16 miles from the actual shoreline itself. Much of city life is based around the South Bank Parklands and the trendy West End district, which is situated to the south.
