Introduction

The Brisbane River is an important river in Queensland, Australia. It flows through the city center of Brisbane and empties into Moreton Bay. The river is intercepted by the Wivenhoe Dam upstream, creating the Wivenhoe Lake which is currently the main source of water for Brisbane. The river was named after Sir Thomas Brisbane, the Governor of New South Wales at the time, by explorer John Oxley in 1823. The Brisbane City Cat ferry operates in the city center, providing access to both sides of the river for tourists. Additionally, the Brisbane port manages the shipment of large cargo boats.
