I have to agree with Laurie here - part of the Greater Brisbane region. Its a
bit like Logan City to the south - yes a separate city but Im sure most people
see it as part of the Greater Brisbane region and statistically both areas are.
Certainly the Moreton Bay region is deemed a part of Greater Brisbane. You
may be even more disappointed Bob that even Bribie Island falls within the
Greater Brisbane region.!
