Welcome to Wooloowin

There used to be another suburb in the area, Kalinga. But this is now part of Wooloowin and remembered in the name of the popular Kalinga Park.

Wooloowin is boarded by the green swathes of parkland along Kedron Brook and residents like to ride their bikes, walk the dog and make use of the open space.

Smaller, pre-war cottages line the network of streets near Wooloowin train station and larger blocks are to be found in the so-called Kalinga precinct, with grand old Queenslander homes restored to their former glory (and more).

On Sunday mornings, locals can hear the tolling of the bells from the church, next to Wooloowin's small primary school in historic buildings.
