Trust me, there's a load of fascinating history in Hemmant that few know about - this included me until I began researching it. This video really was an eye-opener inasmuch as history is all around us, no matter where we are.
And I finally get my Fonzi moment...

This is great, I really enjoyed it! My son recently bought his first house in Hemmant which is incredibly exciting. I love the drive to his house through the farms and the bushland. It really is a hidden gem. Even though I live in Murarrie, I had no idea about the history of Hemmant! So interesting. I'm keen to take a walk around the area now and see the sights! Thank you!

In the early 70's we used to travel from Bulimba (where we lived) to Hemmant to buy meat from Jack Horner's. This large processing and retail meat proprietor was on the banks of the Doboy Creek. They made good quality pork sausages which unfortunately are hard to find anywhere today. Cheers.

Brookfield still has the country town feel hidden away behind Mt Cootha. Especially with the showgrounds. I used to swim down at the waterhole everyday. The rope swing was so good.

My early childhood was dotted with trips to the Dixon tannery with my grandfather. I had no idea of ANY of your fantastic facts, and cannot wait to go back.

I used to live on Garth street, on the eastern point of Hemmant, in the 80s. It was a small estate, which has since been consumed by freight.

And you were so close to the Hemmant Scout hall! Good video though.

Great video. It's what you expect of residential adjacent to industrial in today's age - low rate housing with trouble on the corner. Considering how close to water it is and the block sizes, I predict at some stage it'll become a sought after spot especially how Wynnum is changing from punch-on port workers and their kids to uppitty wealth that's moving in now!

I lived in Hemmant for 30 years from 1970. Absolutely nothing changed there in that time :D

The Aquarium park you were talking about if you walked to the very end of the street you can still see a few rails from the train that circumnavigated the park.
