As one of the suburbs of Brisbane, Annerley lies 4 kilometres to the south of Brisbane CBD and offers some exquisite views. The majority of its terrain lies on an elevated ground, and the ridge looks very picturesque. Although it was originally a rundown area with many social housings, now Annerley boasts apartment blocks and various other glowing residences along with the poorer-looking ones.

Filled with dairy farms in its earlier days, Annerley received its name at the end of the 19th century, after the first Post Office opened in Boggo. You can also visit another prominent monument here, the St Philip’s Anglican Church. Although the original church has burnt down in a fire, you can admire the rich architecture of the new one built in 1954. Also of note is the fact the ashes of Queensland’s Senator Gordon Brown are in the columbarium here.

The Junction Park State School opened at the end of the 19th century under the name of Thompson Estate Provisional School takes you back to a time when schools looked completely different. The Mary Immaculate Catholic Primary School has a particularly interesting story as well, being opened by Catholic nuns in the first years of the 20th century. But this school is an important landmark, and you can admire its wonderful gothic architecture.
