}}East Brisbane is an inner suburb of Brisbane, Australia, located {{convert|2.5|km|mi}} south-east of the CBD. It is mostly residential, with some small commercial areas,[3] and has many original Queenslander houses.[6]

History

The significant housing areas in East Brisbane were founded during the Brisbane property boom of the 1880s. For example, one such development was the Heathfield Estate, which was released in 1886.

Mowbray Park, a large riverside park, was until the 1930s, the site of a public swimming pool built into the river.

Until 13 April 1969 electric trams operated by the Brisbane City Council served the suburb, running along Stanley Street from Woolloongabba, into Lisburn, Elfin and Latrobe Street and thence into Lytton Road, and on to Bulimba. Trolley-buses, also operated by the City Council operated along Stanley Street until March.

East Brisbane State School opened on 10 July 1899,[7] following the official opening ceremony on 8 July 1899.[8] The school celebrated its 50th anniversary with a jubilee carnival in November 1949.[9]

Geography

East Brisbane is bounded by the Brisbane River to the north, Norman Park to the east, Coorparoo to the south-east, Woolloongabba to the south-west, and Kangaroo Point to the north-west. The border between Norman Park and most of Coorparoo follows Norman Creek.[3]

Major roads include Lytton Road, Wellington Road, and Latrobe Street in the north, and Vulture Street and Stanley Street in the south of the suburb. The eastern side of the suburb rises to a small hill with some views over Woolloongabba and the CBD and falls away to Norman Creek.
