Second time to visit. I have enjoyed both my visits to this place. We ordered the following Heidi’s Lychee and Alpine Aperol twist for drinks. Really enjoyed the cocktails 🍸. And also ordered Wings and The Bavarian schmankerl. Great share entree. The atmosphere was great, the place looks inviting. Love the staff wearing the cowbells on their hips. Adds to the theme. Great place for a date night.

What a memorable birthday for my husband. The extra things that these guys did to make our dinner extra special were unreal. The fun interactions with our 4 year old, the sparklers on the churros, the sombrero hats made a lovely night amazing. All cocktails were superb. The mango habanero wings, chicken burrito bowl and bbq prawn tacos were delicious!! A extra special mention to Rinky who looked after us so well all night. He is an asset to your restaurant. Well done!

Angelica was very attentive and had a good attitude while serving our table. The food I tried had an excellent flavour but I can’t take spicy. It doesn’t take the good taste of the food though.

What a great find. Good craft beer range with plenty of options on tap, and some good low-alc options.
Food was excellent! Poutine with squeaky cheese, brussels sprouts *amazing*.
Acoustics aren’t great so it was pretty noisy despite only having a few groups mid week. That said, road noise wasn’t obvious despite the location and several ambulances flashing past!
Staff are casual and kind. Kept the lights on and didn’t boot us out much later than necessary.
Toilet is in the car park and smells like it belongs there.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The most wonderful place and staff. Food and cocktails were incredible. Games were awesome, atmosphere was incredible. My grandparents are hard to please but they were very impressed and asked if they could get the pizza takeaway for the future 🥲🥲 how cute. Thank you so much for the positive experience, will definitely be back soon.

Very coeliac friendly, chef comes out and confirms your order and informs you of
Their allergen practices. I ordered The Trio Pizza with a gluten free base and their Gluten free pork belly bites both were delicious! Will definitely be returning.

The Hamiltons of Chermside

Hamilton Road in Chermside is named after one of the suburb’s earliest settlers who significantly contributed to the development of the area.

Aside from bringing a lucrative business to the land, most of the Hamilton family members have kept their own diaries that detailed their day-to-day lives.

Photo of Andrew Hamilton. Photo credit: http://www.chermsidedistrict.org.au/

Back then, Brisbane was a frontier town and when Andrew Hamilton moved to the city with his family from London he tried farming but being a tradesman himself, he eventually pursued the latter to make more money. That was when he purchased the 20 acres of land at Downfall Creek, later known as Chermside.

He started to make drays for the farmers to be used as their form of transportation to make their lives easier going to the markets to sell their crops. His business grew and he expanded to provide blacksmithing services.

Through the years, he kept a diary with stories of his everyday life, mostly about his business.

His son, Thomas, continued the business when he died who also kept a diary. The Hamiltons were also a part of the United Methodist Free Church and they also helped in setting up a Methodist Sunday school in 1873.

Thomas’ diary detailed his day-to-day lives, but what was very valuable was his stories of the World War. It is the only record that the council has of a local “welcome home.” His diary also described the effects of the Spanish Flu when it hit a local family in town.

When Thomas passed away, his son, Hue continued his work and started a motor shop, the H F M Hamilton Motor Body Works. In 1951, he ended his family’s connection with it and sold it. The motor shop continues to operate today under the same name.

The diaries have been digitised by the Chermside and District Historical Society. A book was also written about them by Beverley Isdale, titled All Blessings Flow: the Hamiltons of Chermside.

Mum’s Personal Mission Inspires Support for Chermside’s Hummingbird House

A Bridgeman Downs mother is transforming her own story of heartbreak into a powerful source of hope for families at Hummingbird House, Queensland’s only children’s hospice in Chermside.

A Purposeful Gathering

The upcoming “Pink and Pearls for a Purpose” gala is more than just a fundraiser; it’s a community-wide effort to support families navigating the toughest journeys imaginable. The event, scheduled for 12 September at the Victoria Park Golf Club, will bring residents together to raise crucial funds for Hummingbird House. Attendees will have the chance to bid on items generously donated by local businesses, including jewellery, hotel stays, and signed sports memorabilia, with every dollar going directly to the hospice’s essential services.

The drive is being led by Bridgeman Downs real estate agent and mother, Sonya Treloar. She has emphasised that the goal extends beyond just raising money; it’s about building a strong network of support for families who desperately need to feel they aren’t alone.

From Personal Heartbreak to Community Hope

For Ms Sonya Treloar, the mission to support Hummingbird House is deeply personal. The heartbreak of losing her own baby, Blake, at just six weeks old, fuels her dedication. This experience gave her a profound understanding of the need for compassionate care and support systems for families facing the potential loss of a child.

Her connection to the hospice began professionally when she assisted its founders, Paul and Gabrielle Quilliam, with the complex property acquisition for the facility. Ms. Treloar has expressed that she immediately knew the project was about creating hope, not just completing a real estate transaction. That initial involvement has since blossomed into passionate advocacy and leadership in the community.

A Unique and Vital Home of Care

Hummingbird House is not just another healthcare facility; it’s a home. As Queensland’s sole children’s hospice and one of only three in all of Australia, it provides a unique and critical service. The Chermside facility offers a warm, family-oriented environment where children with life-limiting conditions receive specialised paediatric palliative care at no cost to their families. This care is holistic, focusing on the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being of each child to enhance their quality of life.

The need for such a place is immense. Across Queensland, more than 5,700 families are currently caring for a child who is not expected to live into adulthood. Hummingbird House offers these families respite, short-term accommodation, and end-of-life care, allowing them to stay together and make precious memories in a comforting setting. Supported by the Queensland Government and community generosity, it stands as a critical piece of the state’s support network for seriously ill children.

How Marchant Park Went From War Camp to Community Hub

In the heart of Chermside, Marchant Park looks like any other suburban green space. But more than a century ago, it echoed with the sounds of hooves, boots, and military drills as young men from across Queensland prepared for the First World War.

From Marchant’s Paddock to Military Grounds

Before it became a public park, the land known as Marchant’s Paddock was transformed into “Camp Chermside” during WWI. It was a major training ground where soldiers, including the 2nd Light Horse Regiment, camped, drilled, and broke in horses before heading to war.

*Photo Credit: National Library of Australia*

Records show Marchant Park was a key training site in Queensland during 1914–1918. Soldiers learned to handle weapons, navigate rough terrain, and work with animals used in war zones. Life was harsh—tents for shelter, long marches in the heat, and basic meals.

A Gift to the People

In 1917, soft-drink maker and philanthropist George Marchant offered to donate the land, on the condition it remain a public park that honoured those who served. The gift was finalised after the war, fulfilling his wish to preserve the site as a lasting tribute to the soldiers who trained there.

Brisbane City Council records show Marchant’s gift came as memorial parks were becoming popular in Australia, spaces that honoured war service while serving the community. Marchant Park became one of Brisbane’s earliest examples.

Preserving a Legacy

Over time, the community added features to honour the park’s military past. The Kedron Shire War Memorial Gates were built in 1924, listing local soldiers, and the park later became part of Seventh Brigade Park—named after a WWI unit that trained in Queensland. These reminders still stand, though many may not know their full meaning.

During World War II, nearby Sparkes’ Paddock became an army camp, and Marchant Park was used for vehicle testing and driver training. The park stayed public land, though soldiers used the George Hastie Cricket Pavilion during that time.

Today, Marchant Park is a place for families, sporting groups, and weekend barbecues. Yet underneath the grass where cricket players now run, history is buried, stories of young men who trained there before being sent far from home.

A Community Connection

The Chermside & Districts Historical Society has spent years researching the park’s past. Their work, along with articles archived on Trove from 1917, helps paint a full picture of how the park went from military ground to community treasure.

Locals who walk through Marchant Park may not know the full story, but its legacy is woven into the suburb’s identity. From horse drills to playgrounds, the land has changed but the community’s commitment to remembering those who served has stayed the same.

Noosa Chocolate Factory and Miniso Set to Join Westfield Chermside’s Retail Mix

Westfield Chermside is preparing to welcome two highly anticipated arrivals, with Noosa Chocolate Factory and international lifestyle retailer Miniso both set to open their doors in the coming weeks.

Read: Rev up the Fun with Disney and Pixar’s Cars at Westfield Chermside

The pair will add to a string of recent retail shake-ups at Queensland’s largest shopping centre, where some long-time tenants have closed while newer, trend-driven brands are moving in.

Noosa Chocolate Factory, which has built a loyal following through its handmade chocolate treats and popular stores in Brisbane’s CBD, will soon extend its footprint northside. For Chermside locals, the opening marks the first chance to enjoy the chocolatier’s signature creations without making the trip into the city.

Global brand Miniso, known for its wide range of affordable lifestyle goods spanning homewares, cosmetics, toys and gadgets, is also preparing to make its Chermside debut. The Japanese-inspired chain has been expanding across Australia in recent years, tapping into a growing demand for quirky and accessible everyday products.

The new arrivals come amid a period of change at the centre. Long-standing tenants including Reebok, Matchbox, and Famous Footwear recently closed, with industry sources pointing to rent pressures as one factor. While those departures signal the end of an era for some familiar names, management has moved quickly to fill the spaces with fresh draws.

Recent openings show how Westfield Chermside is leaning into retailers that connect strongly with customers online. In August, the launch of chicken tenders restaurant Pappa Flock attracted hundreds of people who had followed the brand’s growth on TikTok and Instagram.

Retail experts note that shopping centres like Chermside are increasingly turning to these so-called “viral” retailers to cement their reputation as destinations. Unlike high streets, where fragmented ownership can limit coordinated planning, centres operated by companies like Scentre Group can actively curate their mix of stores to reflect customer trends.

According to Scentre Group, portfolio occupancy across its Westfield destinations sat at 99.7 per cent as of June 30 — the strongest since 2017. The company said nearly 30 of its 42 Westfield centres, including Chermside, were at full occupancy.

That strong demand underscores the appeal of Australia’s second-largest regional shopping centre. Last year alone, Westfield Chermside recorded 17.6 million customer visits and generated $1.35 billion in retail sales. In a further sign of its value, property giant Dexus earlier this year acquired a 25 per cent stake in the centre in a deal that valued the whole complex at more than $2.7 billion.

For Chermside residents, the arrival of Noosa Chocolate Factory and Miniso will be more than just another retail shuffle. They represent the mix of local flair and global trends that continue to shape the shopping centre into a hub not only for retail but also for community life.

The Prince Charles Hospital Expansion Moves Ahead in Chermside

A $360-million expansion is underway at The Prince Charles Hospital in Chermside, with upgrades planned for Acute Services, emergency care, the operating theatre and other facilities, plus adult and paediatric care. Once complete, the facility will become Queensland’s second-largest paediatric health service.

The expansion is progressing under Queensland’s statewide hospital infrastructure program, despite a $6 billion cost blowout affecting the overall scheme.

Project Details

As part of a $2.3-billion investment in Metro North Health infrastructure, the $360-million upgrade being delivered at TPCH includes a new Acute Services Building, 94 new beds for adult and paediatric patients, expanded emergency departments for both groups, new paediatric outpatient and operating theatre facilities, and additional green spaces.

Once complete, the facility will become Queensland’s second-largest paediatric health service.

The Acute Services Building is expected to open in late 2027. Hutchinson Builders was appointed as the managing contractor in June 2023.

Additional Infrastructure at the Chermside Site

Alongside the clinical expansion, a nine-storey car park is under construction at the TPCH campus. Once complete, the new facility will add 1,500 spaces, increasing the total number of multi-storey parking spots on site to 2,000. The structure is being built next to the existing car park on Main Road and is designed to support future growth at the hospital.

The Chermside campus also recently opened the $14-million Nujum Jawa Crisis Stabilisation Unit, addressing the growing number of mental health crisis presentations. Opened in September 2024, the modular building facility offers 24/7 support in a culturally informed, home-like setting, developed in collaboration with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

With construction set to intensify through 2025 and the new Acute Services Building slated for completion in 2027, the Chermside community is expected to see sustained development activity at the TPCH site.

Statewide Comparisons and Broader Implications

Queensland’s Capacity Expansion Program (CEP), introduced first in 2022, aims to deliver 2,200 additional hospital beds across the state by 2028. The program includes three new hospitals in Bundaberg, Toowoomba and Coomera, a new Queensland Cancer Centre, and 11 hospital expansions, including the project in Chermside. Originally announced under a $9.78 billion plan, the estimated cost has since risen to $16 billion.

Despite the budget escalation, the State has confirmed it will continue with the projects. Health Minister Tim Nicholls reaffirmed the government’s commitment to the program, which includes the Chermside hospital expansion.

The TPCH expansion is one of 15 major projects under the CEP, which includes hospital developments and upgrades in Townsville, Ipswich, Logan, Cairns, Mackay, and Hervey Bay, among others. While several projects have faced delays and funding gaps, Nicholls indicated that an independent review was underway to determine funding reallocations and ensure project completion.

The Prince Charles Hospital expansion is delivering 94 of the planned 2,200 beds, making it a key component in the government’s plan to address healthcare demand in growing urban areas like Chermside.

While funding shortfalls remain across the broader program, the city officials have confirmed its intention to continue delivering the expansion projects to meet rising healthcare demand statewide.

Major Property Crime Bust Nets 17 Charges as Police Step Up Chermside Patrols

Photo Credit: myPolice Brisbane North

A 35-year-old West End man is behind bars facing 17 criminal charges following his arrest during heightened police patrols at Chermside shopping centre earlier this month.

The arrest forms part of Operation X-Ray Scutter, an ongoing coordinated policing initiative targeting crime prevention in and around Chermside’s retail precincts. Queensland Police allege the man committed various property crimes across multiple Brisbane suburbs between late June and early August.

The charges span a wide range of offences, from motor vehicle theft and breaking and entering to fraud and assault. Police arrested the man on 10 September during proactive patrols and he was subsequently remanded in custody. He is scheduled to appear before Brisbane Magistrates Court on 8 October.

The suburbs allegedly affected by the man’s activities include Spring Hill, Highgate Hill, Camira, Bellbird Park, Ipswich and New Farm, highlighting the widespread nature of the alleged offending.

Community Safety Focus

Operation X-Ray Scutter represents a collaborative approach to crime prevention, bringing together North Brisbane District Police, Griffith University, Workforce Resilience and other community partners. The operation launched in September with the specific aim of improving safety perceptions around Chermside shopping centres through strategic deployment of police resources.

As part of the initiative, officers from the Crime Prevention Unit have been conducting door-to-door visits in residential areas, including Playfield Street, distributing safety information to residents of multi-storey buildings and apartment complexes.

The community engagement aspect of the operation emphasises practical crime prevention measures that residents can implement themselves. Police are advising residents about the importance of securing communal building access, maintaining quality door and window locks, and ensuring balcony doors remain locked even when at home.

For residents with vehicles, police recommend removing all valuables from cars, securing registration plates with anti-theft screws, and ensuring garage doors close completely after each use. Bicycle owners are encouraged to photograph their bikes including serial numbers and store them in secure areas where possible.

Ongoing Presence

Chermside residents can expect to see continued police presence throughout the area as Operation X-Ray Scutter progresses. Officers are actively encouraging community members to approach them with concerns or simply to have a conversation about local safety issues.

The operation’s community-focused approach reflects a broader shift towards collaborative crime prevention, where police work alongside residents, educational institutions and other organisations to address safety concerns proactively rather than simply responding to incidents after they occur.

Anyone with information relevant to ongoing investigations can contact Policelink through their online reporting system at www.police.qld.gov.au/reporting or by calling 131 444.

Anonymous reports can be made through Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestoppersqld.com.au.
