The Brisbane central business district (CBD) lies in a curve of the Brisbane river. The CBD covers only 2.2 km2 (0.8 sq mi) and is walkable.
Central streets are named after members of the royal family. Queen Street is Brisbane’s traditional main street. Streets 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).

I always remember my Papa telling me about the street naming logic when I was little so I would never get lost in the CBD. It’s one of those comforting memories that binds me to my grandfather and also to Brisbane.
We poured his ashes into the Brisbane River where the Diamantina is in dry dock. He served in the Navy in WW2 on that ship, and there’s a photo of him inside it if you ever go to the Maritime Museum and have a look around.
