Sitting along the Brisbane River, Bulimba and Hawthorne provide a sprawling pocket of paradise, offering up the perfect combination of village charm and a sun-soaked Australian urban lifestyle.
The suburbs are home to classic old cinemas, art galleries, bookshops, alfresco eateries and beautifully renovated Queenslander houses, making this district a great place to visit and explore. The main hub of Oxford St pulses during the day, with fashion houses, eclectic boutiques and chic cafes enjoying lively activity.
If you’re looking for that perfect riverside picnic spot, playgrounds with a difference, or a leafy open space to relax in, Bulimba and Hawthorne have many reserves, leafy parks and special off-leash areas for dogs.
The elaborate timber grandstand in Bulimba Memorial Park is as endearing as the old-style heritage ferry terminal that stands by the river to welcome visitors and the historic sandstone Bulimba House, built in 1850, proudly watches over the hilly streets.
This former sugar cane and pineapple growing district is a great place to visit and explore.
