Camp Hill, Administrative division in Brisbane City, Australia.
Camp Hill is a residential suburb in the southeastern part of Brisbane, built across gently rolling terrain with tree-lined streets. The area is made up of houses from different periods, small shopping strips, and local parks spread along its two main roads, Old Cleveland Road and Stanley Road.
The area was originally named after settler Peter Schick and became a stopping point for travelers from 1859, thanks to its water sources and grazing land. The Belmont Tramway ran through the suburb from 1912 until 1926, linking it to the surrounding parts of Brisbane.
Many older homes in Camp Hill are built in the early 20th-century Queensland style, with wide verandas and timber frames that are typical of the region. These houses, known locally as Queenslanders, are easy to spot along the quieter side streets.
Camp Hill is easy to reach from central Brisbane by bus along Old Cleveland Road and Stanley Road. A car makes it more convenient to explore the side streets, as not all parts of the suburb are covered by bus routes.
Parts of the old Belmont Tramway route are still visible today and are protected as heritage structures, which is rare for a suburban tramway in Brisbane. A careful walk through the streets can reveal these traces to those who know where to look.
