I need some international help!

My magazine is doing a story on other places in the world called 'Brisbane'. I seem to remember that there is at least one town called Brisbane in the US, but can't remember where. If anyone knows about this, or any other Brisbanes in the world, please let me know! If you have any information on the place, or know where I can find some, please pass that on too.

...Just did a quick google search, found the other Brisbane in California. So, any others that people know about?

sweet, figured out how to search the world. Drop down the country and type in Brisbane, It will tell you if there is one in that country

Yeah, that Australian one sounds like some backwater outback town to me

The 'bane' is kind of like how a New Zealander would say 'Ben', I reckon.

Brizvegas always works though, or as some of us put it, Briz Vague As.
