Neighbourhood
We live in a peaceful, leafy suburb in Brisbane’s west—perfect for families or anyone wanting a relaxed base while exploring the best of South-East Queensland. Our local area is friendly, quiet and safe, with great parks and local shops just a short stroll away (100m).
Brisbane’s vibrant city centre is only 25 minutes drive away, offering fantastic restaurants, galleries, markets and river walks. We are a 10 minute drive from Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, 20 minutes drive to Mount Coot-tha for hiking/mountain biking and the Botanical Gardens, and 30 minutes drive to South Bank Parklands for a swim. When you’re ready for a day trip, you’re ideally placed to explore the stunning beaches, hinterlands and theme parks of the Gold Coast (around 1 hour drive away) or the beautiful Sunshine Coast (just over 90 minutes).
It’s the best of both worlds—laidback suburban living, with easy access to city culture and coastal adventures.
Getting to my home
Travelling by car is easiest, and we can accommodate 2x cars in our carport.
There are some bus stops within a few minutes walk from our house that connect us to the city and local train station (Darra Station).
Nearest airport
Brisbane Domestic and Brisbane International Airport - 30 minutes drive
Getting Around
We are 1 minute walk away/150m from the local shops (which includes a large grocery store, chemist, liquor, bakery, hairdresser, barber, nail salon, medical centre, bank, takeaway food options).
A few minutes walk to local bus stops to access other locations. Catch the 452 bus to Darra Station, or the 454 to the larger shopping centres/malls and Brisbane City CBD.
