Wharves & walkability

HSW and New Farm

Something a bit different: a look at the outstanding new Howard Smith Wharves just a short stroll along from Brisbane City's Riverside precinct. 


I managed to pick the one cloudy day of the past fortnight, but it didn't stop the midweek revellers from packing out the bars and al fresco eateries. 


It's a big project and tricky to capture in photos, there are plenty of places to drink, eat, drink more, have picnics, drink, or get married on the lawns. 


And, best of all if you live in New Farm or Teneriffe, you can wander home afterwards.


After a period of high supply in Brisbane the vacancy rate on the New Farm peninsula is tracking at around six-year lows at 1.7 per cent.

The additional walkability to the CBD is the icing on the cake for one of Brisbane's finest postcodes.
