Taringa - History meets Convenience.

Taringa, Taringa our not so little suburb, split by Moggill Road.  We love our little pocket of Taringa and love our little heritage Centre.  We are tucked away and we still meet people who never knew we were here!  

We also meet lots of people who remember their Mum's bringing them down here 40 plus years ago to the Butcher who was located where Pampered Pets is now.  Did you know that where Mosaic Education is, used to be a Fish & Chip shop about 25 years ago?  And that Hairdressers used to be where the Laundromat was about 20 years ago?  
So much history tied up in one little Centre.  Every week we hear snippets of history, childhood stories and old business owners coming back to check out the new Abode Cafe.  We see locals catching up for the first time in a long time outside in the Courtyard.  We see after Church families enjoying the green space and letting the kids run around the gardens.  We see business people and Real Estate Agents enjoying the quiet space to discuss business.  And all made that more convenient by being able to enjoy the coffee, grab some grocery items, fresh fruit, some Aunty Bron's jam or get the Laundry done.  All in one little Centre.  Easy parking, Bus Stop outside and away from the crazy parking, crowds and long walks of Indooroopilly Shoppingtown!  

So if you want simple convenience, easy parking, quiet and to shop local - support small business owners....then pop on down to Hillsdon Road Centre.  It's easy.  Your space, your place,
