The Brisbane River flows through the city of Brisbane, before emptying into Moreton Bay. The river was named after the Governor of New South Wales Thomas Brisbane by the explorer John Oxley in 1823.
Since Brisbane's European settlement, the Brisbane River has had a huge impact on the development and life of the city.
The Brisbane City Council has been developing a network of riverwalk pavements along the banks of the Brisbane River.
Currently the Brisbane River is crossed by 12 major bridges, including the historic Story Bridge and the tolled Gateway Bridge.
