Bald Hills

Postcode: 4036 | Distance to CBD: 20 km

Welcome to Bald Hills

Bald Hills is a suburb well known to most Brisbane locals when driving up the north coast as it's the most northerly suburb of Brisbane. It is a long established suburb and was most likely named either for the views of the D'Aguilar Range or after two grass hills which could be seen from the suburb. Bald Hills was once predominantly farming land producing arrowroot, cotton and sugar cane and some farms still remain today.

The Tinchi Tamba Wetlands at Bald Hills are popular for canoeists, walkers and birdwatchers. Residents have two schools, (one dating from 1866!), their own train station and are close to the major shopping centre at Strathpine.

Lisa says: I love the enormous park on the banks of the Pine River. It's full of wildlife and indigenous plants, and it takes about an hour to walk all the pathways. There are ducks and turtles, cricket pitches and room to run. A very tranquil place and a great way to spend the day with family or friends.
