Lifestyle

Situated just 4 kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD, Bulimba is a special suburb that has a delightful combination of heritage charm and contemporary style. Oxford Street, Bulimba’s main street is full of restaurants, cafes and bars serving up delicious food and drink, as well as a range of exclusive clothing and homewares boutiques where you can spend your weekends shopping.

Some of our favourites eats are at Oxford 154, Riverbend Café and Ambrosia & Co, while there is great shopping at Etre Boutique and House on Oxford. Better yet, Bulimba has its very own art-house cinema, so gone are the days of heading to a shopping centre to view the latest film.

This area is entirely family friendly, including furry 4-legged family members who can enjoy the spacious dog park at the end of Addison Avenue, while children can be occupied for hours playing at Bulimba Memorial and Riverside Parks.

Public Transport

When it comes to public transport in Bulimba, you’ll be pleased to find there is a range of options that give you quick, easy access to the CBD and other suburbs.

While the CityCat is popular, Bulimba also has a range of bus stations with routes that take you to suburbs that aren’t on the riverfront.
