Taigum

Postcode: 4018 | Distance to CBD: 20 km

Welcome to Taigum

Taigum was very likely named after an Aboriginal word for the rainforest plant known as lawyer vine Calamus muelleri which once covered the area.

Nowdays Taigum has a large number of townhouse developments, some with shared facilities such as swimming pools or gyms, and the suburb also offers affordable living in relocatable homes and secure communities for the over 50s.

Nearby Mulbeam Park is popular with families and from Taigum it's only a short drive to bayside Sandgate and it's also very close to Boondall's Brisbane Entertainment Centre.

Fresh eggs, including duck eggs can be bought at the local poultry farm on Muller Road - a rare find in Brisbane nowdays.

The Salvation Army holds the Taigum Salvo Mega Markets twice a year with the next markets on 7th March 2009 and 7th November 2009 at the corner of Handford Road and Roghan Road.
