Brisbane & Evolution Apartments Nov 2009

Our stay in Brisbane November 2009

CBD stands on the original settlement and is situated inside a bend of the Brisbane River approximately 23 kilometres from its mouth at Moreton Bay.





Evolution Apartments CBD Brisbane



Brisbane is named after the river on which it sits which, in turn, was named after Sir Thomas Brisbane, the Governor of New South Wales from 1821 to 1825.


Ready for our walk, interesting thing is that streets are named after female members (Adelaide, Alice, Ann, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Margaret, Mary) run parallel to Queen Street and Queen Street Mall (named in honour of Queen Victoria) and perpendicular to streets named after male members (Albert, Edward, George, William).











In Brisbane-Edward St, is home to many luxury international retailers, such as MaxMara, Bally, Mont Blanc, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Co., Oroton, Polo Ralph Lauren, Bvlgari, Hugo Boss, Hermes, and more but Stefan is going to Rebel :-)






The city has retained some heritage buildings dating back to 1820's
