Brisbane – Oxlade Drive & Beyond Walking Tour – New Farm

MEET US at the BUS STOP at adjacent to the New Farm Park Ferry Terminal. This is the starting point for a 90-minute walk along Oxlade Drive as well as Griffith, Maxwell and Moreton Streets in New Farm.

With its beautiful homes and gardens, Oxlade Drive is considered one of New Farm’s most attractive avenues. Adding to the thoroughfare’s interest is its historical layer of notable homes of the past, sites relating to wartime and industry, and one of Brisbane’s earliest hi-rise apartment blocks.

After Oxlade Drive, we’ll continue along Griffith, Maxwell and Moreton Streets, and by the time we finish at Merthyr Village, having completed a ‘half-circle of the peninsula’, morning tea will have been well-earned.

Your tour guide will be Gerard Benjamin, author of four books about the history of the locality, including the recent popular title: New Farm: Another 50 Stories.
