Beurre Pastries has quickly become a beloved spot in Brisbane, and it’s no surprise given the attention to detail in both their pastries and their modern, stylish interior.

The buzz around Beurre Pastries has led to people queueing up every morning to buy some of their heavenly treats.

“These guys are on their way to being awesome. They’re newly opened, and so it’s reasonable that they’re sorting through some kinks. I’ll revisit when they rotate their flavours and see how they go. Some of the textures of the pastries were a bit hit-and-miss. My favourite pastries were the black sesame and the pistachio scroll. The apricot Danish was ok, not as flaky, but the earl grey flan had a lovely silky texture.”

Kate

“Modern pasty shop that stands out as best in town! The contemporary ambience creates a welcoming atmosphere for visitors and you can enjoy a wide selection of delicious sweet and savoury pastries! Not to mention the great coffees! Whether you are a pastry lover or seeking a delightful treat, Beurre Pastries is a must-visit destination!”

“Amazing pastries! Ordered a lychee dragon pearl tea ade and loved it. One downside is there is nowhere to sit and enjoy your pastries.”

Red-Letter Day for Milton as Quirky Annual Event Brings ‘The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever’to Frew Park

A sea of red dresses will fill Frew Park in Milton this year, for “The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever.”

Every year, in July, multiple cities around the world pay homage to Kate Bush’s iconic 1978 hit song, “Wuthering Heights,” which catapulted her to stardom.

“The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever” has become a beloved tradition. With its unique concept, the event pays homage to Kate Bush’s iconic 1978 hit song, “Wuthering Heights,” which catapulted her to stardom.

The music video for the song, featuring the singer frolicking in a red dress in a field, has become etched in the minds of fans.

On Saturday, the 29th of July 2023, at 2:00 p.m., participants will gather to re-enact the famous music video, all decked out in red frocks, whilst raising funds for DVConnect, a not-for-profit telephone crisis intervention service for those affected by domestic or family violence in Queensland.

The inspiration for “The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever” originated in Brighton, UK, when a group called Shambush gathered 300 Kate Bush enthusiasts in a field. Since then, the event has grown in popularity and has found a dedicated following in Brisbane, thanks to Kristian’s passion for retro music and unique experiences.

The event welcomes everyone, regardless of their familiarity with Bush’s music, extending an invitation to women, men, and children alike.

In the spirit of giving back, all attendees are requested to donate on the day. A portion of the proceeds will go directly to DVConnect, providing vital support to those impacted by domestic or family violence in Queensland.

Kristian Fletcher, the event’s organizer, has been hosting Kate Bush events in Brisbane since 2003, and he is thrilled to continue the tradition whilst supporting a worthy cause.

The singer, also known for hits like “Running Up That Hill” and “Babooshka,” continues to resonate with fans around the globe. With her songs transcending generations, the event celebrates her artistry and provides a joyous gathering for enthusiasts.

Home of All Things Polish in Brisbane: Polonia, The Polish Club in Milton

Did you know that the Polish Club Milton is one of the oldest ethnic clubs still in operation in Queensland? Fondly called “Polonia,” it is the home of all things Polish in Brisbane.

The Polish Club’s history in Queensland can be traced back to the early 20th century. In 1913, the first Polish organization, known as the Polish “Ognisko,” was established. Over the years, this organization evolved until it became known as the Polish Colony in 1928.

During the post-World War II era, Poland was under the control of an oppressive Soviet regime behind the Iron Curtain. This posed numerous challenges for the Polish community in establishing a genuine sense of their homeland in a distant land. However, the Polish never abandoned hope that Poland would eventually regain its freedom and become a democratic European nation once again.

The intervention of the revered Polish Pope, St. Pope John Paul II, played a significant role in inspiring and uniting the Polish people. His leadership and steadfast support for Poland’s liberation instilled a sense of hope and determination among Poles living in Australia and New Zealand.

In 1952, the Polish Colony transformed into the Polish Association of Queensland, initially located in a modest cottage at 64 Bristol Street, West End. However, the association soon outgrew its premises and relocated in 1953 to a more prominent Queenslander at 10 Marie Street in Milton.

The move allowed the organization to better serve the growing Polish community in Brisbane. Recognizing the need for a dedicated space, a new two-story brick clubhouse was constructed on the site in 1968.

This building, known as “Polonia,” became the historic home of the Polish Club and has been a significant cultural hub for the Polish community in southeast Queensland for the last 70 years. The Polish Club Milton is not just a venue; it is the heart and soul of the Polish community.

In 2023, the Polish Club in Milton is celebrating its 70th anniversary, showcasing the enduring presence and patriotism of the Polish community in the region. Despite the challenges faced by Poles living far from their homeland in Australia and New Zealand, the Polish Club has served as a vibrant representative of Polish culture and heritage.

Throughout its history, the Polish Club in Milton has remained a cherished gathering place for the Polish community, offering a taste of their homeland Down Under. It has fostered a vibrant atmosphere where Polish traditions, language, and customs have thrived, helping to preserve and promote Polish culture in Australia.

A $300 Million “urban village” development plan to transform the historic Milton site into a vibrant community, featuring four towers and preserving the iconic Milton House has been revealed..

Shayher Group has recently submitted concept plans for an ambitious project in Milton. The planned structure would replace one of the city’s oldest homes with a large “urban village” on a riverfront site.

In the mixed-use project, four structures with a total height of 30 to 37 stories will be included with an estimated cost exceeding $300 million.

The primary objective of the masterplan scheme is to create a residential-led development that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding area. The proposed towers will house a diverse range of amenities, including multiple homes, serviced apartments, short-term accommodation, vertical retirement living, and office spaces.

Additionally, the project aims to incorporate a subtropical public plaza, an indoor sports facility, shops, and retirement living options within the vibrant community of Milton.

The site, which stretches along Coronation Drive and the Brisbane River, was reportedly acquired by Shayher Group for $94.9 million. Currently, it comprises four office buildings of varying heights and the historic Milton House.

Built in 1853 for Ambrose Eldridge, a retired Queen Street chemist, the heritage-listed Milton House is one of the oldest surviving pre-Separation houses in Brisbane. The developers plan to preserve and adaptively reuse this historical treasure, emphasising its cultural significance within the project.

A 5,000 square metre area of the property will be made accessible as part of the renovation. It aims to give locals and tourists a much-needed parkland. This inclusion not only enhances the livability of the urban village but also offers Milton House unprecedented river views after decades of seclusion.

The project will be executed in two stages. The first stage will focus on the preservation and renovation of Milton House and the establishment of the Heritage Square precinct, which will include one of the towers.

Subsequently, the second stage will involve the development of the Village Square precinct and the construction of three additional towers. The maximum building height was originally intended to be 40 stories, but after discussions with the council, this was reduced to 37 stories.

Despite the reduction, the project still exceeds the height of the existing preliminary approval for four 20-storey buildings. Therefore, the outcome will be evaluated based on performance criteria.

Popular Mannequin Nun on Milton Road Will Soon Say Goodbye

Sister Mary Angeline, the quirky mannequin nun that has captivated the hearts of Auchenflower locals, will soon be bidding Milton Road goodbye.

Affectionately named by her custodians Brad Ashwood and Simone De Haas, Sister Mary Angeline has been stationed behind a large glass window at 341 Milton Road since 2000.

Brad and Simone are theatre partners known for their creative flair. They initially set up the mannequin as a lighthearted way to brighten the daily routines of weary travellers.

Donning a range of hilarious costumes, the mannequin nun has become a familiar sight for commuters stuck in gridlocked traffic. Passersby have eagerly awaited each week’s ensemble, with the imaginative custodians dressing Sister Mary Angeline as everything from Batman to sporting team colours.

Amidst the many looks, the mannequin’s outfits that reflect on current events are the ones that have truly endeared her to the locals.

In 2011, as Milton Road experienced heavy flooding, Brad and Simone decided to give Sister Mary Angeline some floaties just in case the water levels rose to such heights. The floating nun adorned with her buoyant accessories quickly became a symbol of resilience and humour in the face of adversity.

Whenever something big happens in the news, you can bet your house on seeing the mannequin nun dressed up to match the occasion. She has been the barometer of what’s going on in this part of the world.

However, it appears that Sister Mary Angeline’s days on Milton Road are numbered. Brad and Simone have made the difficult decision to sell their house and embark on a sea- or tree-change of lifestyle. Nevertheless, they assure fans that the mannequin nun’s flamboyant costume-wearing antics will persist, no matter where they decide to call home next.

Australian Unity is set to construct a $100-million retirement and aged care village in Auchenflower. The site was previously part of the Greengate portfolio acquired by Australian Unity in 2021.

The demand for retirement and aged care development is increasing in Queensland due to its ageing population with projections indicating a significant rise in the number of residents aged 85 years and over.

Australian Unity aims to improve aged care standards and challenge stigmas associated with ageing. With the approval granted, Australian Unity will proceed with the construction of the retirement and aged care village, addressing the needs of Queensland’s ageing population and contributing to the improvement of aged care facilities in the region.

The development at 9-17 Harriett Street, Auchenflower, will consist of three buildings rising three, seven, and 10 storeys on a site owned by the Holy Spirit Catholic Church. The existing church will be preserved as part of the project.

The amended plans designed by Fender Katsalidis show a slight reduction in the number of homes compared to the original approval. The development will now feature 87 independent living apartments and 108 residential aged care units. However, the communal space within the village will be significantly increased.

The architectural design includes a high-quality mineral paint finish on the concrete facade, with metal cladding on upper levels to create a recessive shadow line. Meanwhile, Lower levels and the internal courtyard will feature a tactile hand-cut brick.

Jessica Lee, principal at Fender Katsalidis, emphasised the firm’s commitment to creating a design that enhances residents’ well-being. Lee also underscored the importance of designing retirement living in a manner that fosters favourable and beneficial results for residents, while also ensuring that the design integrates well with the surrounding community.

Lorraine Calder, Australian Unity’s general manager of places, said that the organisation’s goal is to provide quality accommodation that fosters well-being and community. Moreover, Calder expressed that establishing a seamless continuum of care enables elderly individuals to have options for accommodation and care services that offer a sense of security and excellent design outcomes.

Pride in Your Origin: Celebrating Queensland’s Community Spirit with XXXX and the Maroons

XXXX Brewery tanks have unveiled a new striking look to celebrate this coming Origin Series. In a true demonstration of pride, XXXX has proudly displayed two giant 4064 postcodes, a nod to Milton, the home of the brewery.

As Queensland continues to foster an even deeper connection to the Maroons thanks to XXXX, the Queensland Rugby League’s (QRL) longest-running partner and one of the state’s most iconic brands.

For the second year running XXXX will be removing their logo from the QLD jersey’s left sleeve and replacing it with the postcode of each player’s choosing. The aim of the swap is to celebrate the contributions of the broader community in supporting the Maroons players to achieve the ultimate honour for any footy player, running out into an Origin arena with the QLD jersey on their back.

For 2023 it was an obvious evolution to expand this campaign to allow all Queenslanders to showcase their own community pride during the series. As such XXXX has launched limited edition postcode merchandise packs which include a XXXX cap, stubby holder and t-shirt that can be personalised with a fans own postcode of choice (RRP: $49.99 + $10.00 postage).

In addition, to celebrate the upcoming Origin season and as a demonstration of Queensland pride, XXXX has released a limited-edition can design that encourages all of Queensland to show their pride in their ‘origin’. The limited edition release XXXX Gold Pride in your Origin cans feature a number from 0-9 that can be used to make up Queensland’s 447 postcodes.

By collecting their code and demonstrating their pride, footy fans have an exciting opportunity to win a plethora of prizes, from Maroons ticketed memberships and 2023 Maroons jerseys to $25,000 cash, or a trip to Hamilton Island for four people with selected Queensland Maroons players and representatives.

XXXX has worked alongside current Maroon players Patrick Carrigan (4121) and Christian Welch (4152), in addition to footy legends Sam Thaiday (4815) and Darren Lockyer (4455) to recognise the important role that their local communities played in shaping their football careers.

Each player named to represent the QLD Maroons throughout the 2023 Origin series will be given the opportunity to wear the postcode of their choosing on their sleeve.

This swap comes as the iconic XXXX Brewery tanks have unveiled a new striking look to celebrate this coming Origin Series. In a true demonstration of pride, XXXX has proudly displayed 2 giant 4064 postcodes, a nod to Milton, the home of the brewery.

“We know that it takes the support of many along a player’s journey from local junior to QLD Maroon. Players last year embraced the opportunity to celebrate the contributions of their communities by proudly displaying their postcodes on their jersey,” Lion Head of Marketing – Core Beer, Chris Allan said. “Each player has a unique origin story and they are proud to wear their family name on their back and their community on their sleeve.”

“Strong communities are central to the Sunshine State, and with XXXX being a proud Queenslander, we’re thrilled that the mighty Maroons, for the second-year running, are sprinting onto the field representing all of their communities whilst also demonstrating a connection and sense of belonging to their Queensland roots.”

“Growing up in Brisbane it was my dream to represent my state in the Maroon jersey. When I step out onto the field, I’m stepping out for everyone from my hometown of Holland Park (4121) and for our loyal Queensland supporters,” Queensland Maroons lock, Patrick Carrigan notes.

“I’m pumped that this XXXX initiative has continued for its second year – Queenslanders should be extremely proud of it. These communities are close to our hearts so it’s a fitting tribute to wear them on our sleeves and celebrate the places that make this state full of pride and greatness.”

The Queensland postcodes for all Origin games are:
