We're a small funky group of character listed shops nestled in the leafy western suburbs of Brisbane. The centre was originally one tiny shop back in the early 1930's. Purchased and developed by the local Roger/Andronicos family in the 1940's. Today it is a unique mix of business and green space. Owned by the Sexton Family since 1994. Come down, relax, grab a coffee, enjoy the Courtyard gardens.

Since then the Grocer has changed the face of our beautiful corner with a new paint job and stunning interior. Add on the fabulous streetscape improvements done by Council - Thanks to Cr Julian Simmonds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now full of delicious fresh baked bread, fruit and veggies plus a range of gourmet shelf items and typical pop in convenience items it has brought life back to the heritage of this corner space. We LOVE the deli selection and Take Home gourmet meals....a lasagne, pizza, or maybe some prawn dumplings? So much choice, so allow yourself a bit of browsing time!</span><br />

This fabulous little space quietly opened it's doors last Wednesday. And we are all so excited and happy to have another Taringa local move in to the Centre. <i>Rosie Singer</i> is the lovely owner of <b><i>Beauty on Park</i></b> and she comes with a great reputation in the beauty industry. Previously Rosie was trading on Park Road at Milton, so we feel very lucky to have stolen her away to our quiet, peaceful surroundings in the Courtyard. The space has been totally refurbished to offer a very peaceful and stylish treatment room and the lovely reception/nail bar room at the front has a gorgeous outlook through the greenery. It's a very clean and beautiful space, just perfect for pampering and relaxing. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our Courtyard is buzzing with people visiting the refurbished and bigger <i><b>Abode Cafe.</b></i> And with the opening of the beautiful and serene space for <b><i>Jenna Ward Kinesiology</i></b>, you now have a place that will help you find peace and centre your lives. Pop on down to meet and chat to Jenna, another Taringa local most days of the week.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hot of the Press, is the latest news... the last space vacant is due to open in March, another fabulous Taringa local Rosie. Renovations are nearly finished and announcements will be made shortly. Very exciting! Our Courtyard is going to be all about relaxation, a place to truly chill out and spend time. 'you time' </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We love our little Centre and are so happy we have so many locals operating their small businesses here. It keeps that heritage and history going that started back in the 1930's of locals operating local businesses for locals! </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Due to personal, health and family reasons Annie has made the decision after 8 years to close the business. She is going to focus on her health and children. Annie has always been a gem to have in our little Centre. Her ethos, kindness and </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">generosity has aligned with our Centre and every business in it. Smooth always offered very professional and skilled service standards. Presentation was stunning and product and service range was diverse.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">She and all the team at Smooth will be sorely missed by everyone at Hillsdon Road Centre, the Taringa locals and we are sure her many clients.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We all wish Annie a happy, healthy future. And we know that she and Smooth will not be forgotten at Hillsdon Road.</span></span><br />

Here at Hillsdon Road Centre Taringa our courtyard gardens are enjoying the 'pink blush' of the Bauhinias! Now most of the year they provide shade and lots and lots of leaves to sweep up lol.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But right now, they are adding a beautiful finishing touch to our lovely garden area. Feels even more relaxing now! So if you are in the area, stop on by, enjoy a coffee from Abode Cafe, grab a slushie for the kids from The Corner Store, even pop that nasty load of dirty laundry in at Indooroopilly Laundromat....while you enjoy a touch of pink on us!</span><br />

The lovely Leesa and <i>The LITTLE Art Studio</i> will be closing today. However, we are happy to know that the business and art will continue from Leesa's private studio. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After three wonderful years at 26 Hillsdon Road, bringing a smile to the faces of those who walked past her lovely artwork, purchased it or for us who worked next to Leesa..... it will be very sad to see Leesa and the studio go. We personally have enjoyed shopping for gifts in The LITTLE Art Studio, admiring the art and feel proud to have an original piece on our wall at home.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Leesa's joy of doing what she loves, has always shone through with her big smile and happy nature. Every day it was a pleasure to see Leesa. And every week we looked forward to the latest masterpieces. Everyone here will miss that and we all wish you well for the future Leesa. Much success and continued joy in your creations.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><i>Please continue to support Leesa as an Artist, by following her Facebook page or website for updates.</i></span> </span></span><br />

wonderful old homes and established leafy streets. You are handy to
Moggill Road and the Centenary Motorway. You are close to a quick drive
up to Mt Cootha and it's forest trailways. It's not too far to drive
in to the cbd or get to Coronation Drive bikeway. You are super handy
to the Qld University, just up the road to Rokeby and over Moggill Road
on to Swann Road and you are nearly there. You are close to the
fabulous St Lucia Golf Course, such a beautiful public course. All the
fantastic schools are so handy, Indooroopilly State School, Montessori,
BBC, Holy Family, Indooroopilly State High, St Peters, Brigidine College
and Ironside. We have some wonderful parks nearby, city views from the
ridge tops and some great cycling tracks. Of course we think the best
thing is our little Centre, tucked away in the quiet streets of Taringa
for approx 80 years. Convenience, quality local businesses and a
friendly local hub.</span></span></i><br />

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! </span></span></i><br />
<br />

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? </span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">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! </span></span></i><br />

where would we all be without them? I love my Mum and am always
thinking of what things I can do or give her on Mothers Day. So here is
a list of ideas for you, following that great 'Shop Local - Support
Local' Vision. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1.
Do all of Mum's Laundry! It would be such a nice way to give her more
than one day of rest and relaxation. Take the laundry in on Sunday to <b>'Indooroopilly Laundromat'</b>,
take Mum around to Abode Cafe. Mum will
be sitting out in the sunshine, enjoying the gardens and the views to
Mt Cootha, while all the Laundry is done in around an hour! Easy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2.
Buy Mum brekky or lunch at the wonderful <b>'Abode Cafe</b>'. Open from 7am
till 3 pm. It's a beautiful Cafe in a lovely location, with delicious
made on site food and pastries. You could even pick Mum up some Abode
Jams or Relishes as an added gift!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">3.
Why not give Mum some serious relaxation and spoiling....by treating
her to a Voucher from <b>'Smooth at Taringa</b>' Facials, massage, beautiful
products.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">4.
How about buying Mum some original artwork from '<b>The LITTLE Art Studio'</b>?
Go in and see the diverse and beautiful work by local Artist Leesa B.
She even stocks gorgeous jewellery by local craftspeople. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">5.
And you want to really spoil her, local Florist <b>'Friday Flowers' </b> will
be located in the Courtyard selling fresh, seasonal flowers on Friday and
Saturday. Straight from the markets! A lovely selection of seasonal flowers for all budgets.</span><br />
<br />
</span><span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #e06666;">We hope we have given you a few great ideas and mostly that you have a wonderful day just enjoying being with your Mum. </span> </span></span><br />
