Do Camp Hill like a local!
Unsure of what to do this weekend? Why not get a feel for one of Brisbane’s fastest growing suburbs? Just six kilometres from the CBD, Camp Hill is buzzing with exciting variety. From trendy cafes to fitness and fun for the kids, here is our ultimate itinerary for experiencing what this fantastic southside suburb has to offer.
8am – Wake up & get active
Rise and shine! Chuck on some runners and start the morning off with a jog or stroll through White Hill Reserve. This is no ordinary park – it offers families a world-class playground, including a flying fox, multiple slides, and a sandpit, along with a mini nature walk, sports fields and bike paths.
9.30am – Breakfast, the most important meal of the day!
After working up an appetite, feast your eyes on some of Ashton & Old’s amazing breakfasts. Whether you are in the mood for sweet or savoury, A&O boasts the best of both worlds… but their pancakes are to die for!

11.00am – Shop ‘til you drop
This hip little strip is worth a visit! The mini village encompasses a collection of cute boutique stores where there’s something for the whole family. Grab a coffee from Blackbird Espresso and take a wander - Tinnie Tiny for this kids, Amble & Adore for gifts, Little Grace for home décor, fashion and accessories, John’s Barber for a trim, and The Bread Basket for delicious baked treats.
1pm – Lunch on the Hip Strip
When it comes to eating, there’s so much to choose from along Martha Street. If you’re in a pickle… why not try In A Pickle? This local favourite offers a laid-back atmosphere on the site of an old butcher shop. On the menu – homemade gourmet pies, salads, frittatas, cakes and much more. The venue has limited seating, so grab a takeaway salad or pie and head to the nearby playground. If you’re in need of some seating, check out the street’s popular Picnic Cafe here the menu is a colourful picnic-inspired delight (also available to takeaway)!

Still have some energy? Head on to Camp Hill Bowls Club where you can relax with a cool beverage and have a bowl, all the while taking in one of the best panoramic views of the city. Adults can play for $5 and kids for $2.50. On your way home, swing by City View street for some luxury home “eye candy” in one of the suburb’s most expensive streets.
