How did the name Brisbane originate?
The city of Brisbane was named after the Brisbane River, which John Oxley was directed to by some ticket-of-leave convicts who had found a good river. Oxley came into contact with these men who had become lost, and they showed him the river. Oxley named the river after Sir Thomas Brisbane, who was the Governor of New South Wales at the time when Brisbane was founded. The city of Brisbane was then named after the river when the first settlement was founded on its banks.

Why is the city of Brisbane where it is?
The Brisbane River, around which the settlement of Brisbane grew, was discovered in 1823. It was discovered by three ticket-of-leave convicts who were blown off course during a storm whilst timber-getting, and made their way to the mainland. Aborigines assisted the men with food and shelter. During the course of their ventures, the men came across a "large river": they were the first white men to sight this river. The men showed explorer John Oxley the large river, when he came across them quite by accident, and he later named it the Brisbane River, after Governor Brisbane. The colony of the Moreton Bay District was founded in 1824 when explorer John Oxley arrived at Redcliffe with a crew and 29 convicts. The settlement was established at Humpybong, but abandoned less than a year later when the main settlement was moved 30km away, to the Brisbane River, in 1825. The new settlement took the name of Brisbane from the river along which it was established.
