New Farm, Queensland
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
New Farm is an inner suburb of Brisbane, Australia, located 2km east from the Brisbane CBD on a peninsula on the Brisbane River. Newfarm is surrounded by the Brisbane River, with the only land access from the north west through Fortitude Valley.
At the south-eastern end of the peninsula is the historic New Farm Park. The suburb derives its name from the fact that the peninsula was used as a farming area in the early years of Brisbane's History. Brunswick Street is the main street running northwest-southeast up the centre of the peninsula. To the south of Brunswick Street the suburb is characterised by large ornate Queenslander style houses, shady streets lined with large trees and tall apartment buildings, predominantly along the river. More modest Queenslander style houses dominate the north of Brunswick Street where there are fewer large trees and apartments.
There are three main commercial areas, two on Brunswick street (one towards the northwest end near Fortitude Valley, the other near New Farm Park, called 'Merthyr Village') and the newer James Street precinct. The former electric tramway power station, located at the eastern end of New Farm Park, has been converted into a community arts and performance space called 'The Powerhouse'.
New Farm has experienced much 'gentrification' and 'infill development' throughout the 1990s and the years since 2000. However, New Farm maintains its diversity, being known for its long established Italian community and its more recently established gay community. It is also known for its many restaurants and cafes and for illegal street prostitution after dark along the Vally end of Brunswick Street .
On the 23rd of January 2007, Part of the upcoming movie "Fool's Gold" (starring Kate Hudson) was shot at New Farm Park.
