Bowen Hills

Bowen Hills is an administrative area in inner Brisbane roughly 3 kilometers from the central business district. The area features multiple railway stations and parks that shape daily life for those who live here.

The area was originally known as Barrambin by the indigenous Chepara people before becoming a postal district in 1866. The current name comes from Queensland Governor Sir George Ferguson Bowen from that era.

The Old Museum Building and Miegunyah House show different building styles from various periods of Brisbane's past. Walking through the area, you encounter these structures as living examples of how the city developed over time.

The area is well served by public transportation with multiple railway stations providing easy access. Parks throughout the neighborhood offer spaces to walk and relax without much effort.

The area was long overlooked but has grown noticeably in recent years as new developments take shape. Many visitors miss how much the local community has transformed and attracted younger residents.
