Wilston
The charming suburb of Wilston, located about 3km North of the Brisbane CBD, has an air of the old – with classic-styled buildings renovated to perfection – alongside the fresh, breezy styles and modern architecture of professionally designed houses on Wilston Hill.
The Wilston Village Cafés along a 200m section of Kedron Brook Road are popular with local residents and visitors to the area and provide an outdoor dining delight with around 11 or so restaurants to choose from that are easily accessed by regular buses and a Railway Station on the Ferny Grove line. It can sometimes be difficult to find parking in busy times. Breathtaking views of Brisbane city from upper streets in Wilston have made this hub of early urban renewal projects a lively suburb of choice for many professionals, including past Premier Peter Beattie and medical professionals who enjoy Wilston’s close proximity to the Royal Brisbane Hospital.
