A rural retreat not far from the big city
Huddled between Mount Coot-tha and Enoggera Hill, The Gap can be found approximately 8 kilometres west of the central business district of Brisbane. Due to its location in the gap between two hills, The Gap was originally a heavily forested area, until the arrival of European settlers made timber felling the main industry.
The first lease of land in 1851 brought farming to the foreground, and this was the case until its proximity to schools led to an influx of families and an increasing school-age population.
The Gap’s native bushland and its location close to national parks and other outdoor attractions makes it the ideal location for families looking for a rural retreat from the city, that is still close enough to the necessary amenities. The kids will love Walkabout Creek, D’Aguilar National Park, a number of other parks, sporting grounds, bikeways, and the various bushwalks on offer – and you certainly will, too.
Facts about The Gap
“There was something quite captivating about the honesty, the hapiness of kids. Most have an openness and an acceptance which we lose.”
