A wonder try from Max Jorgensen got the Wallabies back in the contest before tries on either side of half-time gave the Lions a lead that the Wallabies were unable to claw back despite two late tries.
The Lions got off to a flyer as Russell stamped his authority on the game early.
He kicked the opening penalty of the match inside the first two minutes before delivering a magic looping ball to Sione Tuipulotu.
It put the Scotland captain into clear space as he dived over for the first try of the series.
The visitors thought they had their second when Jonah Lowe sprinted down the wing, throwing the ball back inside for Huw Jones to touch down.
However, winger Jorgensen made an excellent recovery tackle to take down Jones after initially missing Lowe, with the Scottish centre pinged for a second movement as he dived for the line.
Jorgensen then produced one of the all-time Lions tries to get Australia back in the contest.
The winger leapt high and stripped Hugo Keenan on the 22, sprinting away to finish for the hosts’ first points of the night.
This failed to deter the Lions, with the Wallabies forced into some desperate defence to try and hold them out.
They twice stopped the Lions close to the line, only for Tom Curry to sneak over four minutes from half-time.
It gave them a 17-5 lead heading into the break, with the visitors picking up where they left off in the second half.
Jones capitalised on an overthrown lineout and raced into the 22, with hooker Dan Sheenan defying the number on his back for an excellent finish in the corner.
The Wallabies were hungry for an answer and put the Lions under significant pressure.
Captain Harry Wilson went close, but was held up over the line. Following this, Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii thought he had scored, however the replays showed he was held on the ground as he propelled himself to the turf.
Harry Potter was millimetres away from reclaiming a Harry Wilson kick, which was just out of his reach.
Eventually, they found their way over as replacement Carlo Tizzano struck with one of his first touches on the field.
In the end, it was too much to overcome as a late Tate McDermott try wasn't enough for the Wallabies as the Lions maintain their perfect record in Brisbane.
British & Irish Lions 27 (Tuipulotu, Curry, Sheehan tries, Russell 3 cons, Russell, Smith pen) def Wallabies 19 (Jorgensen, Tizzano, McDermott tries; Donaldson 2 cons)
