Culture
Herston is somewhat of an unsung hero as far as inner city Brisbane suburbs go. It’s central, filled with life, culture and a range of great food options. Herston has all of the benefits of Kelvin Grove, but with the added benefit of being closer to trains and an overall quiet, safe feel to the suburb.
Things to do
- Victoria Park Golf Course - 18 holes, put-put and a driving range, it’s a great way to spend a day or an evening, with the clubhouse open late for delicious meals or casual drinks after a hit.
- An abundance of walking and cycling tracks with many natural, green spaces.
- A short walk to Downey, Spencer and Finsbury Park & Wetlands.
- Ballymore Stadium, Home of Queensland Rugby Union

- Pop into the neighbouring suburb of Windsor on Sunday morning and visit the organic farmers market.
