Neighborhoods

Walkable streets, shady parks, riverside strolls and great restaurants & cafes.
Yeronga is peaceful and spacious with acres of green interlocking parks. You can walk for hours barely crossing a road, or follow the river and watch the famously muddy brown reaches snaking slowly down towards the sea. Yeronga Village, walking distance from our house or grab a bus along Fairfield Road, has a great Thai restaurant (Yeronga Thai) where meals are always fresh and affordable.

City Hopper ferries are free and they're gorgeous

Old school, superannuated Brisbane River ferries gain a new lease on life as City Hoppers, zooming back and forth among inner city spots like bees among the flowers. A relaxed and fun ride.
Nicht verpassen

Ride the City Cat under the bridges at night!

Fast, exotic, urban, and modern, the catamaran ride under the high bridges of Brisbane by night is a wonderful experience. From our place you can cross the pedestrian bridge to University of Queensland, hop on a City Cat and zoom on down.
