When Brisbane was called Brisbane?

Well, it started in 1934 when it was made into an official town! again, I don't know why I get asked this, I'm just a plumber!

Anyway, the story goes that a few developers from Sydney were looking for a place to build a new city. They settled on a spot near the Brisbane River and started construction in 1823. Back then there was no town or city here, just a few small villages.

The developers decided to name the new town after the River, which is a Scottish name meaning "the River of the Broken Bridge". It was initially named after Sir Thomas Brisbane the Governor of Queensland at the time.

So there you have it! That's When Brisbane was called Brisbane!

Did you know how much planning goes into gas fitting a restaurant? If you wondering how your favourite restaurant manages to have their cooktops, ovens and fryers all working at the same time without any problems, the answer is gasfitting!

Before a restaurant is designed to look a certain way, the gasfitters have to come in and plan where all the pipes will go. They need to make sure that there is enough gas coming into the restaurant to power all the appliances, and that the pipes are correctly installed so that there are no gas leaks. There will be regular maintenance and checkups to make sure that everything is working as it should be.

So, if you need a plumber or gasfitter in Brisbane, don't hesitate to give us a call! We are more than happy to help you with all your plumbing and gas needs.
