Please note that when readers see "Boeing" and an unqualified "Brisbane", it's natural for us in the other hemisphere to assume Brisbane, California.

A qualifier on your title lines (e.g. Brisbane, Australia or even Queensland) would be helpful.

I'm Australian so I'm biased but completely disagree. You're saying that the city with a population of 2,308,700 is the one that requires qualification so it doesn't get confused with the one that has 4,282? Great startup scene in Brisbane!!

I'm not Australian, but come from a cricket-playing nation, and I agree with you. I'm more familiar with the Brisbane that houses The Gabba :)

Cheers, I wasn't aware of any other Brisbane's world wide. I'll clarify next time.
