Connecting Brisbane to Major Cities around the World
Brisbane, the capital and the most populous city of Queensland,
is one of the major tourist destinations in Australia. It is the

European settlement and has acted as host to many large
international events such as the 1982 Commonwealth Games,1988 World
Expo and the 2014 G-20 summit.
Brisbane is famous for its incredible fighting spirit. Even
after being hit by two major floods in 1974 and 2011, the city is
really well developed with a record population growth, amongst the
highest in the country and a really great infrastructure. There was
incredible development during the 1980s, after the first major
flood, as Brisbane got ready to host several major international
events. These events gave a major boost to the tourism sector of
the city, which the city authorities had been looking for a very
long time. Hosting a string of such important events has now put
Brisbane high on every tourists wish list.
