The riverside and prestigious suburb of Hamilton is in easy reach of the CBD, Gateway Bridge and the airport . It is surrounded by landmarks of Brisbane's past and present including the famous Breakfast Creek Hotel and the international cruise terminal Portside complete with cinema!

Hamilton has a mix of old and new architecture and one of the busiest connecting roads in Brisbane, Kingsford Smith Drive, named after our famous aviator and the man on the old paper $20 note, Sir Charles Edward Kingsford Smith who was born in this very suburb in 1897.
