The South Brisbane People’s Market has a new look as it moves towards its goal as a Social Enterprise supporting vulnerable members of the community. The space now has some comfy chairs and tables for customers to use as they browse the range of fresh food and  pantry fillers.

Another exciting innovation is the  “Art Walls”  displaying works from local artists living with disadvantage. Your purchase of these works promotes social  inclusion and encourages new and emerging artists in the Kurilpa Peninsula.

About South Brisbane

Wikipedia  provides a good introduction to South Brisbane. However, to say that ” South Brisbane has emerged as fashionable, high density, modern residential area, given its proximity to the city centre and good public transport links.” leaves out the colour vibrancy and diversity that continues to thrive around the Kurilpa Peninsula.

The suburb shares the upheaval of history with its sister suburb, West End. South Brisbane’s hsitory can be bookmarked by European sttlement, the building of the Railway Station and  World Expo ’88.

Have a look at the Google Images from South Brisbane. There are more images in the South Brisbane History Collection.

My hope is that this site will provide a space for residents, visitors and tourists to share their experiences, memories and impressions of this wonderful space.

The ABC Building in South Brisbane

ABC Brisbane Reflects the 7 Network logo on its glass wall

There is great excitement as the finishing touches are added to a building on the corner of Russel Street and Little Stanley in South Brisbane. The four storey structure will be home to ABC Brisbane and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.

The building has been a controversial project even before the first sod was turned.

I went for a look at the almost completed new home in South Brisbane today.  They have an impressive bank of reflective glass along the riverside that will provide great views. The glass also reflects the logo of the 7 network on the wheel of Brisbane across the road.LOL
