Brisbane, State capital in Queensland, Australia
Brisbane extends along the Brisbane River with skyscrapers in the Central Business District and residential neighborhoods spreading across surrounding hills.
The area transformed from a penal settlement established in 1824 into Queensland's capital city when the state separated from New South Wales in 1859.
The Queensland Cultural Centre includes multiple performance spaces, museums, and galleries that present regular exhibitions of Aboriginal and contemporary Australian art.
The CityCat ferry system connects 24 terminals along the Brisbane River, providing transportation between the University of Queensland and Hamilton.
The Kangaroo Point Cliffs, formed from ancient volcanic rock, rise 25 meters above the Brisbane River and serve as an outdoor climbing destination.
