MEET US in front of New Farm Library at 135 Sydney St, New Farm, for a 90-minute walk to see sites in Brunswick St, Bowen Tce and Merthyr Rd, along with peeks at Langshaw, Moray and Moreton Sts.
Among the gems to be seen are the Holy Spirit Church, Wynberg, Hamel and Red Ted’s house, plus we’ll recall homes long gone such as Coolden, the Japanese House, Linden, Tullibardine, and many more.
