Fate
Brisbane was commissioned for the final time on 2 April 1935, for the specific purpose of conveying the ship's company of the new cruiser HMAS Sydney to their ship in Britain. Brisbane reached Portsmouth on 12 July 1935, and was decommissioned on 24 September.
On 13 June 1936, Brisbane was sold to Thomas Ward & Company for A£19,215 to be broken up. The cruiser was scrapped at Briton Ferry, Wales.
