Welcome to Windsor
Windsor is a historic, pretty suburb with contrasts galore. The geography consists of steep hills with city views and lower flood-prone areas near Enoggera Creek. The houses range from tiny workers' cottages to stunning mansions.
You'll find large tracts of playing fields and parkland at Downey Park (where Vicky Wilson shot her school girl netball goals) as well as the bushland remnant of Eildon Hill with its great views over the city.
The Windsor Historic Society is housed in the former Council Chambers building, built in 1897 from stone carved from the now defunct Windsor quarry. Only four kilometres from the city, Windsor is also on the train line and split by busy Lutwyche Road. A few magnificent fig trees remain that are a legacy from years past.
Windsor is also home to Brisbane's largest community garden, Northey Street City Farm, which hosts weekly organic markets and edible plant nursery.
