How widely do you define Brisbane when you're talking to people who live outside the SEQ region?
How widely do you define Brisbane when you're talking to people who live outside the SEQ region?
Do you strictly interpret 'Brisbane' as the BCC area, or will you tell people you live 'in Brisbane' when you're just shy shy of Caloundra, Ipswich, or Toowoomba? I will always call Redcliffe, 'Brisbane', even though it was established long before Brisbane, but exclude Ipswich, but I don't have any good reason for either.
Journos use 'near Brisbane' for up to 200km from King George Square, and 'events in Brisbane' frequently have listings for the Gold Coast.
Is Brisbane just a state of mind? :)
I use the same 5 LGAs that our politicians seemed to be using when talking about COVID rules. BCC, MBRC, Logan, Ipswich, and Redlands.
BCC area, but within that I live in FNB
@24Vindustrialdildo Far North Brisbane? Is that, like, Caboolture? :)
@24Vindustrialdildo @ anathema_device If he only counts BCC I fear he thinks Aspley is FNB
anything north of Deception Bay, west of The Gap, south of the Logan River isn’t Brisbane to me.
also it depends, if someone asks “where are you from?” and you’re from Narangba or Caboolture, it’s easiest to just say Brisbane.
Anything outside postcode 4000 isn't Brisbane...
BCC, Moreton Bay, Pine Rivers, Ipswich and most of Logan fit my definition.
Definitely not the coasts.
Bribin is biggest city in the world made up of many councils smaller, so BCC limits because it so huge
Other city so ugly we just recoil away from them
