New farm and the surrounding areas are the fastest growing areas in Brisbane with the C.B.D just two kilometres away. There are millions of reasons why people fall in love with this little peninsula, right in the city.
Essentially there is something for everyone, from upbeat cafes and restaurants to picnic in New Farm Park, concerts at the Power House and art house cinema at Centro on James.
For every day shopping Merthyr Village is great, and if you want to splash on gourmet food the sensational James Street Market is unbeatable. The renowned Jan Powers Markets are held in the park every second Saturdays.
Groovy designer stores are found in James Street. Merthyr Park Bowling Club is, for me, the ideal place for a fresh beer along the river on a balmy Sunday afternoon.
The identity of New Farm is cosmopolitan and I like it because there is a sense of community and a village life a bit like in Europe where we like sharing food with good friends, go to art galleries and concerts in the area where we live. |
