The Brisbane River is situated in southeast Queensland, Australia, and flows through the state capital Brisbane, before emptying into Moreton Bay.
The river depth was progressively increased and narrow points widened to allow larger vessels into the river and further upstream.
On the southern side of the river, opposite Gardens Point, are the Kangaroo Point Cliffs.

 General Sir Thomas Blamey, Commander in Chief, Allied Land Forces, SWPA
General Blamey's main Advanced Land Headquarters for Allied Land Forces was later located at the University of Queensland at St. Lucia in Brisbane from 1 August 1942 to 31 December 1944.
Not many sources point to General Blamey as being a well-liked commander by his troops but this may be because many officers despised his position.
Although it is said he had his compassionate moments, Blamey was generally a strict man. He did feel proud of his troops and looked out for their needs.
