About Brisbane
Brisbane is the capital of Queensland and Australia's third-largest city. Set on the Brisbane River, it is the business centre for the state and a gateway to the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and nearby islands such as Moreton and North Stradbroke. Its warm subtropical climate makes it a popular place to live and visit.
Brisbane uses Australian Eastern Standard Time, UTC+10, all year round, because Queensland does not use daylight saving. This catches many people out: in the southern-hemisphere summer, when Sydney and Melbourne put their clocks forward, Brisbane falls an hour behind them, while for the rest of the year all three share the same time. Sunrise in Brisbane comes very early in summer.
