BRISBANE (MEANJIN)

Brisbane, known traditionally as Meanjin by the Turrbal people, is the vibrant capital of Queensland, located on the winding Brisbane River, Maiwa. With a rich Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage, the city acknowledges and celebrates the Turrbal and Yuggera peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land. Brisbane blends urban sophistication with natural beauty and a warm, subtropical climate. It is a hub of culture, education, and innovation, offering world-class galleries, diverse cuisine, and strong community values. As a city grounded in respect for Country and culture, Brisbane is a fitting host for national events, providing a welcoming space that embraces both ancient traditions and modern achievements.
