Guest JoanneHattersley Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hi everyone, I thought that I would post some information on here about my suburb. This (hopefully) might start a few new threads about different Brissie suburbs! I just thought that for newbies wanting to move here.........its nice not having to trawl for info if someone can get it for you!!! ______________________________________________________ Sinnamon Park is about 15km from Brisbane's CBD. Households in the area are generally made up of family groups. There is prestige housing starting to appear in this area and there are extensive recreational and retail facilities nearby. The houses tend to be modern brick and tile structures, with exclusive executive style homes becoming more common in this area. There are plenty of parks as well as two golf courses in the district. The median house price in Sinnamon Park in 2006 was roughly $420,000. ______________________________________________________________ For your children: check your local playground - parks in Brisbane have anything from skatebowls to toddler play. In your area, try Amazon Place Park in Jindalee, Avondale Park, Sinnamon Park, Wendouree Crescent, Westlake or the park off MacFarlane Street in Middle Park for family fun. ______________________________________________________________ Take the dog: check out the local off-leash areas where Fido can release canine tension. Try Beanland Street in Jamboree Heights, Delapine Place in Seventeen Mile Rocks, Jindalee Boat Ramp Park in Jindalee or Tigris Street in Riverhills. ______________________________________________________________ Shops: Forgot a few things at the regular grocery shop? Why not leave the car keys behind and pick up what you need on the way home from the bus stop, or take a walk or bike ride to the local shops. Check the map for local convenience centres. The major shopping centres of Jindalee Village and Mt Ommaney Shopping Centre are just a bus ride away. _______________________________________________________________________ Getting fit........ Who's got time? Everyone, if you make exercise part of your everyday life. You could walk to the nearest stop and catch the bus to work, or take the kids to school. 3 x 10 mins daily exercise is recommended for good health. If you like swimming, try Jindalee Olympic Pool on Yallambee Road in Jindalee. For fitness and fun, try your nearest Active and Healthy Park such as Peter Lightfoot Oval, Middle Park. _______________________________________________________________ The weekend Escape from the city to the great outdoors: and in Brisbane, you don't have to go far. Take a picnic to the local park, try Atthows Park in Darra or the park off Sumners Road, Riverhills, right on the bend of the river. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy a round at McLeod Country or Jindalee Golf Courses. _______________________________________________________________ Facilities: Release your mind at Mt Ommaney Library, where you'll find not only books but also CDs, DVDs, videos, free internet access, even storytelling sessions for children. Phone the library for details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
