Inner Southern Suburbs is a glorious place in the inner suburbs of Brisbane. The views of the city at night are really pretty and it's a convenient spot to almost anywhere in Brisbane. West End is also right next door with its plethora of boutique fashion and lifestyle shops. A comfortable walk to West End and Southbank/City. Loads of restaurants to choose from and leafy parks on the river to kickback and relax. At the highest point of the Inner Southern Suburbs is a small park which boasts excellent views of the city and surrounding hills. It's particularly popular during summer due to the cool breezes. Lyons Playground Park, also known as Paradise Park, is a well equipped small park that also has a community garden. The Brydon Street park leads into a gully down to the river and is what remains of the bushland that was subject to protest in 2002 People who live in Inner Southern Suburbs are intensely proud of their community and passionate about their village lifestyle. Families, students or well-heeled professionals — they all love their suburb and tend to shop, eat and drink locally. The people in the street are very friendly and its lovely to be able to stop and have a chat. No-one in this suburb tolerates bad coffee, and luckily they don’t have to. Locals and aficionados alike will tell you that some of Brisbane’s best coffees, breakfasts, books and record stores are found on Boundary Street, Vulture Street or Hardgrave Road. Inner Southern Suburbs also boasts one of the biggest farmers’ markets in Brisbane, and a festival line-up that includes the Greek festival, Paniyiri, Australia’s largest cultural festival. When the best bands aren’t playing in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley, they’re playing here. You can catch a gig most nights of the week, with an emphasis on intimate venues and indie performers
