Brisbane (i/ˈbrɪzbən/) is the capital and most populous city in the Australian state of Queensland, and the third most populous city in Australia. Brisbane's metropolitan area has a population of 2.3 million, and the South East Queensland urban conurbation, centred on Brisbane, encompasses a population of more than 3.4 million. The Brisbane central business district stands on the original European settlement and is situated inside a bend of the Brisbane River, about 15 kilometres (9 miles) from its mouth at Moreton Bay. The metropolitan area extends in all directions along the floodplain of the Brisbane River Valley between Moreton Bay and the Great Dividing Range, sprawling across several of Australia's most populous local government areas (LGAs), most centrally the City of Brisbane, which is by far the most populous LGA in the nation. The demonym of Brisbane is Brisbanite.
One of the oldest cities in Australia, Brisbane was founded upon the ancient homelands of the Indigenous Turrbal and Jagera peoples. Named after the Brisbane River on which it is located – which in turn was named after Scotsman Sir Thomas Brisbane, the Governor of New South Wales from 1821 to 1825 – the area was chosen as a place for secondary offenders from the Sydney Colony. A penal settlement was founded in 1824 at Redcliffe, 28 kilometres (17 mi) north of the central business district, but was soon abandoned and moved to North Quay in 1825, opening to free settlement in 1842. The city was marred by Aboriginal conflict between 1843-1855, and development was partly set back by the Great Fire of Brisbane, and the Great Brisbane Flood. Brisbane was chosen as the capital when Queensland was proclaimed a separate colony from New South Wales in 1859. During World War II, Brisbane played a central role in the Allied campaign and served as the South West Pacific headquarters for General Douglas MacArthur.
Brisbane is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:
Brisbane is a lunar crater that is located in the southeastern part of the Moon, to the south of the crater Peirescius. To the northwest lie the craters Vega and Reimarus, and farther to the east is the walled plain Lyot. Due to its proximity to the limb, foreshortening of this crater causes it to appear somewhat elliptical in shape, even though it is actually circular.
This is an old, eroded crater with features that have become somewhat softened and rounded due to a history of subsequent minor impacts. There are small craterlets along the rim, most notably along the western wall and the northeast inner wall. There is also a groove overlying the southwest rim. The interior floor is nearly level and contains no significant impacts. There is a slight central rise at the midpoint.
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Brisbane.
One of Brisbane's most popular radio stations, 4KQ, will bid farewell to airwaves, replaced with 24-hour sports. The station has been sold, ending one of the longest radio runs in Queensland history.

Tigerair flight (TT/TGW) 413 from Melbourne to Perth uses Australia's international HF network whilst in the Melbourne Oceanic Area. The pilot calls Brisbane on 13306 kHz and avises the operator of his altitude (FL300), his estimate for the next waypoint (CLAMY at 06.52 UTC), and his SELCAL code (CF-MP). Brisbane acknowledges this, advises that primary guard frequency is 13306 kHz and secondary is 8879 kHz, and sends a SELCAL tone to check with the aircraft. The pilot then calls Brisbane again on 13306 kHz to pass a position report, including the time he passed the last waypoint (CLAMY at 06.51 UTC), his altitude (FL300), and his estimate for the next waypoint (COBEL at 07.16 UTC). The Brisbane operator then instructs the pilot to contact Melbourne ATC on 134.2 MHz after passing COBEL.
