Runcorn

Postcode: 4113 | Distance to CBD: 15 km

Welcome to Runcorn

Once part of Coopers Plains, Runcorn has a long history of farming including cotton growing and small crops and has only developed over the last 40 years or so.

There are still many areas of natural bushland in Runcorn including Brady Bushland Park in Gowan Road and surrounding the Queensland State Archives at 435 Compton Road.

With close access to the South East Freeway and Pacific and Gateway Motorways it's easy to get around from this outer Brisbane suburb. Runcorn also has its own railway station and bus transport.

There are several schools both within Runcorn and its surrounding suburbs and for shopping there's Runcorn Plaza as well as shopping centres in nearby Sunnybank and Upper Mt Gravatt.

Martin says: What's not to like? The whole place is a haven of multicultural bliss. Our children play safe and learn from the biggest mix of Asian, African and Muslim influences that could be imagined. The food, the drink, the lifestyle of having so many cultures together bring Runcorn to the front of my mind.
