Bushfires can occur anywhere in Queensland. Severe bushfires are most common around the Queensland Central Coast, particularly in the Rockhampton region, heading west to Mount Morgan. However, smaller bushfires are also common anywhere along the eastern seaboard where the Great Dividing Range is covered with dense bushland.

From Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast, to Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast, is a distance of about 155km and would take just over two hours of travel, depending on what time of day one was travelling. Traffic would be lighter if one left the Gold Coast after 8:30am, but it will always be busy over the Gateway Bridge in Brisbane and the journey would be slower through that area. It could take two and a half hours.

"Brisbane", as such, was not discovered. 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, on 14 June 1823, they 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.

Lieutenant James Cook (he was not yet a Captain) named Hervey Bay as he charted Australia's eastern coast in 1770. He named it Hervey's Bay, a name which has since been slightly shortened, after Lord Augustus Hervey who was not only Cook's "boss", but also an admiral of the Blue and the Earl of Bristol.

Another convict settlement was established under the command of Captain Patrick Logan. On 10 September 1825, the settlement was given the name of Brisbane, but it was still part of the New South Wales territory.

It was proposed that the new settlement be called Edenglassie, but this never eventuated.
