Brisbane City is the central suburb and central business district of Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia.[3] It is colloquially referred to as the "Brisbane CBD" or "the city". It is located on a point on the northern bank of the Brisbane River, historically known as Meanjin, Mianjin or Meeanjin in the local Aboriginal Australian dialect.[4] The triangular-shaped area is bounded by the median of the Brisbane River to the east, south, and west.[5] The point, known at its tip as Gardens Point, slopes upward to the northwest where the city is bounded by parkland, and the inner city suburb of Spring Hill to the north. The CBD is bounded to the northeast by the suburb of Fortitude Valley. To the west, the CBD is bounded by Petrie Terrace, which in 2010 was reinstated as a suburb. The Brisbane central business district is an area of densely concentrated skyscrapers and other buildings, interspersed by several parks such as Roma Street Parklands, City Botanic Gardens, and Wickham Park. It occupies an area of 1.367 km2. The city is laid out according to a grid pattern surveyed during the city's early colonial days, a feature typical of most Australian street patterns. Major landmarks and attractions in the CBD include City Hall (including the Museum of Brisbane), the Story Bridge, the Howard Smith Wharves, ANZAC Square, St John's Cathedral, the Brisbane River and its Riverwalk network, the City Botanic Gardens, Roma Street Parkland, Queensland Parliament House, Old Government House, and Customs House.

Crikey. I had never thought about this site until I saw the photograph! I still think the present building is an eyesore....

www.womenaustralia.info/biogs/AWE6006b.htm Here is some extra info about Harriet Brims and her work.

Her photographs were featured in the North Queensland Herald (1907) and the Australasian Photographic Review (1902), the latter in which she was described as 'the first lady photographer who ever dared, single handed, to face the "stronger sex" in fair and open competition.' From the same source.
