Old suburb - Paddington

Paddington is just west of the city (2 kms)  - and from many places you get a wonderful view of the tall buildings in the city centre.  It is a very hilly area, and the homes are a mixture of very modern and trendy - and old cottages that have been standing in this suburb for many years.  It is a mecca for shoppers - upmarket fashions, art galleries and restaurants

One of the icons of the area is the Suncorp Stadium  venue for concerns and football matches!   Take a day to wander along Given and Latrobe Terraces, Paddington.

Some of the old houses need some repairs!

Old Shop now a Quality Second Hand Store

A huge and amazing precinct for Antiques

Trammies Corner (see below)

This area recognises the Trams that plied their way between Paddington and the city a long time ago.
