Seventeen Mile Rocks is a suburb of Brisbane,
Australia located 11 kilometres (7 mi) south-west of
the Brisbane CBD on the Brisbane River.

Seventeen Mile Rocks is named after a collection
of rocks that marked a distance of 17 miles (27 km)
from the mouth of the Brisbane River. These rocks
were largely removed to widen the river and allow
access for marine vessels to further reaches of the
river.

Seventeen Mile Rocks, a rural and industrial place
until the mid-1970s, is a residential suburb on the
Brisbane River. Opposite Fig Tree Pocket, it is 17
nautical miles and 11 km in a straight line from
central Brisbane.
