Guidebook for Murarrie
Food Scene
This is a wonderful street in a trendy, upmarket suburb 4 kilometres from my house. There's pretty much every type of restaurant your could ask for, fantastic coffee scene, an old-style cinema (6 theatres) that will take you back in time - and less than $10 a movie.
At the end of the street is the City Cat (ferry) that will take you to the city - or all the way to the university at St Lucia (about an hour to the uni). It's a great way to see Brisbane and especially pretty in the evening.

Sightseeing
More commonly known as the Gateway Bridges. A very easy one kilometre stroll from my home is the start of the bike/walkway across the Gateway.
It's 5 km return walk-ride. There are several shelters with seats and water at intervals on the bridge. In summer this highly exposed walk is best done early morning or late afternoon.
There are lovely views from the top.

Parks & Nature
OK, not a beach like the Gold Coast, but there is a sandy beach with a jetty that is a great spot to fish. It's a popular spot for land-based fishing at night. There are also BBQ facilities, shelters and public toilets.
It's only 2km from my home.

It's a lovely way to see Brisbane, especially in the evening. There are beautiful views as you approach the Story Bridge and the city.
The trip from Bulimba to the University is approximately one hour.
