A long way.

Well, when Stanley landed in Brisbane, he told me he was surprised how far it was away from Blairstown...

The distance is 15,488 kilometers or 9624 miles or 8363 nautical miles and this is the usual route by aeroplane.

Brisbane is on the East Coast of Australia.

It is a very big state. Queensland is Australia's second largest state measuring more than 1.72 million square kilometres, 25% of Australia's land mass, which is four times the size of Japan, nearly six times the size of the UK and more than twice the size of Texas in the US.http://www.webjet.co.nz/australia/qld/

The first thing Stanely did when he got home to our house, was to check out some information about Queensland and he looked at : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queensland. You may want to as well.
