Brisbane was among the world's major cities where forces of flying Cybermen emerged led by. Taking to the skies, they created a cloud of cyber-pollen above the city. These pollen clouds would then rain upon the graves, recruiting the dead of the Earth into a new Cyberman army. When control of the Cyberman army went to the hands of the recently-converted Danny Pink, he ordered all Cybermen to return to the skies and self-destruct, taking the pollen clouds with them in their combined explosions.

In the 51st century, Magnus Greel's massacre of approximately a hundred thousand earned him the nickname "Butcher of Brisbane." (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang) During this era, it was known as the Brisbane Dead Zone. (AUDIO: The Butcher of Brisbane)
