Brisbane Water itself is nowhere near the city of Brisbane... or Queensland for that matter. It is an estuary situated about 50 Km north of Sydney - New South Wales in a region known as the NSW Central Coast and is named after colonial governor Thomas Brisbane. Just to confuse the issue further, there is also a Central Coast in Western Australia, Tasmania and Queensland.
