Welcome to Moorooka

When people mention Moorooka the words "magic mile" often spring to mind as "the magic mile of motors" is a common name for that stretch of Ipswich Road with car yard after car yard where southsiders usually head when looking for a new or used vehicle.

But there's much more to Moorooka than car dealerships. It has its own shopping centre known as Moorvale along Beaudesert Road. There are schools, kindergartens and lots of parks - even along both sides of busy Ipswich Road. Public transport is by train or bus and Moorooka is handy to the river and Toohey Forest. Major shopping centres are only a short drive away.

Cristian says: Moorooka is a great mix of cultures, of the young and the elderly, of singles and of families. It is not so polished that it has lost its character and yet it is becoming a great place to live. It is close to the city, to parks, to the river and to Garden City. It's a great place to live.
