My Sunday stroll in the heart of Red Hill

Red Hill is one of the oldest suburbs in Brisbane. Its name comes from its steep hills with red soil and rocks - many of which are found in our garden.  

It has some interesting landmarks, the massive Catholic Church of St Brigid's built in 1914, with imposing views of the city below, the Ithaca War Memorial and the Red Hill Pops Theatre which opened in 1912. In 1965 it was converted to a Skate Park which was burnt by fire in 2002. Finally it was resurrected as Red Hill Cinemas which we love as it is a five minute walk up the road from our house. 

Nearby is Zig Zag St made famous by Nick Earl's novel. 

As I zig zag through the streets on this lovely but slightly overcast Sunday afternoon I come across a lot to share with you all. Its houses are delightful and the gardens colourful. Everywhere I go I have reasons to be jolly! 

 

And the perfect little wig wham on the forest floor which will offer some children hours of fun.
