There is, however, a Lisbon Park on Lisbon Street in the Sydney suburb of Fairfield. Elsewhere in New South Wales, there’s a Lisbon Court in Castle Hill, and Lisbon Road in Kenthurst.

There’s another Lisbon Street in Maroochydore, Queensland, too.

Lisbon or Brisbane?

However, it is highly unlikely that significant numbers of people are searching for these places. The place they are almost certainly looking for is Brisbane, not Lisbon. They sound alike, so people get them mixed up.
