Brisbane is the capital of the Australian state of Queensland and the third largest city on the continent.
Once half-asleep and provincial, hiding behind the facades of business buildings, in recent years Brisbane is deservedly considered one of the most attractive places to live in Australia: its population is growing at an alarming rate, increasing by a thousand people a week. The official nickname of Brisbane is "City of the New World" and it's quite apt: with more skyscrapers than New York City, new bars and restaurants are springing up like mushrooms after the rain. Tourists can enjoy the unique nature in the national parks, pet a koala, climb one of the world's few accessible bridges and soak up the sunshine of Brisbane's welcoming spirit.
Long ago, the land of the Brisbane River was occupied by two tribes: the Turrbal and the Jagera. These tribes were in constant conflict with each other, and one day the Jagera attacked the Turrbal, stealing their women and children and taking them back to their camp.
The Turrbal warriors were devastated by this loss and knew they needed to act quickly to rescue their loved ones. They called upon the spirits of the river and prayed for help. The spirits answered their prayers and sent a great flood down the river, washing away the Jagera camp and rescuing the Turrbal women and children.
But the flood did not stop there. It continued to grow and grow until it became a raging torrent that consumed the entire valley. The Turrbal people were swept away by the flood, and their bodies were never found.
In the aftermath of the flood, the Brisbane River was born. The river was said to be the tears of the Turrbal people, who were weeping for their lost loved ones. The river became a sacred place, and the Turrbal people would never forget the sacrifice of their warriors and the power of the spirits of the river.
To this day, the Brisbane River remains an important part of the local culture and history, and the story of the Turrbal and the Jagera is still told by the people who live in the area.
