This suburb is known for being an 'old wealth' suburb compared to 'new wealth' suburbs in Brisbane such as Paddington, Toowong and Indooroopilly. Paddington is an inner suburb of Brisbane, Australia located 2 km west of the Brisbane CBD. Toowong is an inner suburb of Brisbane, Australia which is located 5 km west from of the Brisbane CBD. Indooroopilly (ˌɪndrʊˈpɪli is a suburb of Brisbane, Australia which is located 7 km west of the Brisbane central business district.
