Things to Do in East Brisbane Ward, Brisbane

An old river-bend suburb east of the CBD, where Queenslanders and workers' cottages climb back from the Brisbane River. Heritage-listed Mowbray Park runs to the water with giant figs and a rare Light Horseman war memorial, while Lytton Road's bakeries and pubs keep the ward practical rather than polished.
