Suburbs on the Brisbane River
Brisbane was settled mainly due to the river and it's proximity to Moreton Bay meaning the developing town had excellent access to maritime facilities. The dock was an important attribute in the early years and continues to be today. The river also offers many advantages to living in Brisbane today, especially for those suburbs located on the banks.
