Things To do

Take a day trip to Nudgee Beach, Sandgate, Shorncliffe or Redcliffe peninsula with our staff. Take a short walk to enjoy the newly renovated Lutwyche shopping centre, local op shops and cafes. Access to the Kedron Brook is close by with walkways and access to many local parks, for those that enjoy a long walk or to ride their bike. Public Transport is available at the end of the street with a short bus trip to the attractions of Brisbane City and South Bank Cultural Precinct. Brisbane City hosts regular free events that our staff can help you find. If you’re in the mood to shop, the nearby Chermside Westfield (accessible by public transport) offers hundreds of specialty shops, large department stores, cinemas and a range of restaurants and cafes. Feel like putting your feet up? We have plenty of space at the house for you to read a book, watch tv, socialise with new friends or our support workers or soak up some sun on the back deck.
