The Battle of Brisbane - November 26th & 27th 1942
It was outside the Shingle Inn that a huge fight (riot possibly better description) occurred between Australian and American servicemen in war time (don't know exact year, sorry).
G'day Tony,
In response to your being uncertain when "the Battle of Brisbane" occurred - there is a link which provides quite a bit of information about the event. Accessed 11th April 2013 from http://www.ozatwar.com/ozatwar/bob.htm 
Kind Regards
Lionel
