St Lucia, Riverside suburb in Brisbane City, Australia
St Lucia extends across a peninsula bordered by the Brisbane River, containing the main campus of the University of Queensland and residential neighborhoods.
The area transformed from sugar plantations in the 1860s to a residential district when William Alexander Wilson subdivided the St Lucia Sugar Plantation in 1883.
The Great Court at the University of Queensland represents the educational heritage of the area, with its traditional sandstone buildings and academic traditions.
The suburb offers multiple transportation options with bus services, ferry terminals at Guyatt Park and University, plus dedicated bicycle routes throughout the area.
The population median age of 25 years reflects the strong student presence, with 38 percent of residents between 15 and 24 years old.
