Brisbane Central

Brisbane Central is on a protruding tongue of land on the northern side of the Brisbane River. Bordered on three sides by the river, the northern edge of Brisbane Central adjoins the suburbs of Spring Hill and Fortitude Valley. Petrie Terrace to the west, once separate, is now included with the central city area.
