Having moved here in February 2011 I have enjoyed the peace and quiet, the fresh air and open style housing/farming atmosphere of the suburb. There are no cars screaming down the street, no wild parties until all hours of the night and everyone keeps their music and entertaining to a polite noise level. Neighbours wave hello/good morning and share a smile. I can walk to the park without fear and the community spirit is obvious at all the clubs in nearby suburbs (Wynnum and Manly). All the fast food chains have an outlet here and you can venture down to Manly for something a bit fancier. I do however live on a no through road, close to the river and when I am in the garden I always say hello to the horses in the paddocks across the road. This suburb is not for everyone and thank goodness for that, I would like it to remain Brisbane's little secret for a while longer if possible.
