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? :)

    BCC, Moreton Bay, Pine Rivers, Ipswich and most of Logan fit my definition.

    Definitely not the coasts.
