We love coming to Punjabi Dawat for dinner. The service is fantastic, the place is clean, and the food is both well presented and delicious. You can tell they work very hard to run a tight ship. Prices are good, serving sizes are also good. Nothing to complain about really. The cheese naan is straight up dank I could eat it every day. Oh also they give you free pappadam so that’s worth mentioning.

I tried the Don Carlos Fettuccine, which was very nice and tasty. One of the best I have ever had. I also had garlic prawn and some slices of pepperoni pizza. The pizza was good. It probably needed a paper tray between the pizza and the wooden board to stop the pizza base getting too wet. In general a very good restaurant with great ambiance and professional staff.

Ryan Lee
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lovely but cosy ambience and the food was just perfect. The garlic bread came out fresh, the cocktails were delicious and the food was delicious. Generous portions of prawns in the marinara that we got, the carbonara looked great and all of it was spot on. Gianni came round a few times to make sure we were doing well. We’ll be back for sure. Thank you!

We had the pleasure of dining tonight, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The service was exceptional and the staff were friendly and attentive. The Lasagna and Steak Pepe Verde was the absolute highlight of our night, each bite was bursting with flavor. Dessert was just as amazing, it was the perfect end to a perfect meal. This place is a must-visit! Highly recommend!

Dinner was pretty good. I’d say the Thai food here is quite authentic. We had the som tam salad, which is really yummy. The pork belly stir fry vegetable is very good. Tamarind fish is very good too. The only let down was their Tom yum soup, which is pretty average. We had the grass jelly and jackfruit for dessert and it was also average. Definitely come back again to try other dishes.

Harris Farm Markets in Clayfield has been repeatedly identified in public discussions as one of Brisbane’s most problematic car parks.

Read: Final Townhomes Launched at Wooloowin’s $300M Greville Community

Background

A recent online discussion asked locals to nominate Brisbane’s worst car park, drawing hundreds of responses from residents and frequent shoppers. Harris Farm Markets in Clayfield was quickly named among the most difficult sites, with widespread complaints about its tight layout and problematic parking design.

Car Park Designs Under Scrutiny

The Clayfield car park was criticised for its small, congested, and awkward layout, with drivers pointing to limited spaces and poor traffic flow. Several described it as frustrating to navigate, especially during peak trading periods and weekend shopping hours.

Other car parks across Brisbane were also highlighted in the debate. Market Square Sunnybank received the most negative responses, described as chaotic and persistently congested. Officeworks Woolloongabba, Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, Toowong Village, Cannon Hill Plaza, and the Oxley Aldi and Chemist Warehouse complex were also mentioned for bottlenecks, steep ramps, confusing one-way systems, and lengthy delays exiting.

Comparisons Across Suburbs

Market Square Sunnybank stood out as the most frequently criticised location, while Harris Farm Clayfield consistently featured among the city’s least favoured car parks. Comparisons across suburbs suggested that while Sunnybank’s issues are more severe and widely acknowledged, Clayfield’s compact design still created regular frustrations for local drivers and visitors.

Community Sentiment

Many participants described the Clayfield car park as cramped, restrictive, and poorly arranged. Others shared frustrations about sites across the city: Cannon Hill was said to cause unnecessary stress, Red Hill pharmacy was likened to a rollercoaster, and the Oxley Aldi car park was compared to a chaotic, unpredictable action scene.

Outlook

The ongoing discussion shows that car park frustrations are widely shared across Brisbane suburbs. With Harris Farm Clayfield repeatedly singled out alongside other heavily criticised sites, it remains a focal point in the broader debate about the city’s most difficult parking experiences and access challenges.

Reality TV Personality Adds Clayfield Unit to Investment Portfolio

Reality television personality Ryan Gallagher has purchased a two-bedroom unit in Clayfield for $500,000, marking his entry into Brisbane’s property investment scene.

Read: John Millman Inspires Young Players at Wooloowin Holiday Tennis Session

The 36-year-old, known for appearances on Married At First Sight, I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, and The Challenge Australia, acquired the property in one of the suburb’s sought-after streets several months after ending his engagement to Olympic swimmer Emily Seebohm earlier this year.

Currently renting in nearby Ascot, Gallagher told reporters he plans to undertake extensive renovations on the investment property himself, drawing on his building trade background. The unit is presently tenanted, with the same resident having occupied it for 15 years.

Photo Credit: Supplied

According to PropTrack data cited in the original property report, Clayfield’s median unit price sits at $710,000, representing growth of almost 20 per cent over the past 12 months. Gallagher indicated the property has already been valued at $180,000 above his purchase price.

The former reality contestant said he has been closely monitoring South East Queensland’s property market, particularly with an eye on opportunities linked to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The State Government’s 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Taskforce has estimated the Games could create around 130,000 direct jobs, including 10,000 in the year of the Games itself, while Westpac has forecast the event could produce at least $17 billion of economic and social benefits for Australia, with around $8 billion flowing into Queensland.

Between hosting and comedy performances, Gallagher revealed he is preparing for another reality television project, though he declined to share specifics when speaking at the launch of a production studio in Coorparoo on Sunday.

Gallagher and Seebohm, who share a two-year-old son named Sampson, met while filming The Challenge Australia. The pair became engaged in December 2022 at a property near Goulburn, New South Wales, where Gallagher grew up. According to property records mentioned in the source material, Seebohm owns a four-bedroom house in nearby Hendra, purchased eight years ago for $1.375 million.

John Millman Inspires Young Players at Wooloowin Holiday Tennis Session

Wooloowin families are set to welcome former Australian tennis professional John Millman when he visits Shaw Park Tennis Centre as part of AO Holiday Programs presented by Weet-Bix.

According to organisers, Millman will join children at Shaw Park Tennis Centre, 128 Shaw Road, Wooloowin, on Tuesday, 30 September from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The event follows a scheduled session the previous day in Milton, extending the program’s reach across Brisbane.

A home-grown role model

Millman, who reached a career-high singles ranking of No. 33 in 2018, retired from professional competition in 2024 after more than a decade representing Australia. He competed at the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Olympics, with his opening-round win in Rio marking the only 6-0, 6-0 scoreline in Olympic singles history. His achievements continue to resonate with young players who now have the chance to meet him in their local community

Building connections through tennis

Organisers of the AO Holiday Programs say the Wooloowin session is designed to give children aged 5 to 15 the opportunity to hit balls with Millman, ask questions, and take part in engaging tennis-based games. These programs run nationally each school holiday period and are supported by Weet-Bix, combining tennis instruction with themed activities and giveaways.

Shaw Park Tennis Centre, a longstanding community hub in Brisbane’s north, is one of the largest clubs in Queensland. Its inclusion in AO Holiday Programs ensures that families in Wooloowin and nearby suburbs have access to a nationally recognised initiative without leaving their neighbourhood.

Inspiring the next generation

Program organisers emphasise that AO Holiday Programs are about more than tennis skills. They are a way to encourage children to stay active, connect with peers, and build confidence. Millman is expected to speak with participants about his career, share personal insights, and pose for photos, making the day a memorable experience for local families.

Final Townhomes Launched at Wooloowin’s $300M Greville Community

The final collection of townhomes is set to rise at Wooloowin’s $300 million masterplanned community, Greville, with construction now underway on the last 47 residences.

National developer Cedar Woods Properties has appointed south-east Queensland builder Devcon Building Co Pty Ltd to deliver the project, coinciding with the construction of Greville’s first apartment building, Vera, currently being built by local specialists Emacen.

Cedar Woods Development Director Blair Britton said the response to the release had been strong.
“This urban lifestyle precinct is already alive and thriving, and the final townhome release is already 40 per cent sold as construction begins,” he said.

Designed by architecture studio Rothelowman, the three-bedroom townhomes range between 191 and 213 square metres, each offering 2.5 bathrooms, two car spaces and premium finishes. Prices for the remaining homes start from $1.42 million — below Brisbane’s median house price of $1.6 million.

Greville residents already enjoy a recreation area with a pool, BBQs, alfresco dining spaces, and the 4,000sqm Greville Park, which opened in 2023.

Devcon General Manager Ray Lindley said the company was proud to join the Brisbane project.
“Greville forms part of our growing Brisbane pipeline and complements our extensive footprint on the Sunshine Coast, where we have been delivering high quality residential projects since 1993,” he said.

Located just five kilometres from the CBD, Greville will ultimately deliver 84 townhomes, more than 200 apartments across three buildings, and a collection of heritage homes within the historic Holy Cross laundry, which dates back to the 1800s.

The project reflects a wider trend of masterplanned communities reshaping Brisbane’s inner suburbs, with developers aiming to balance heritage preservation with new, high-quality housing close to the city. Greville’s mix of apartments, townhomes and parklands highlights the demand for more diverse housing options in areas traditionally dominated by detached homes.

A Legacy in Wooloowin

Holy Cross Catholic Primary School, located in Brisbane’s inner-north suburb of Wooloowin, is marking 135 years of Catholic education in 2025. The school was founded in July 1890 by the Sisters of Mercy and initially operated from a church building, with pews repurposed as desks.

In its early years, the school was known for its simplicity and discipline, reflecting the educational standards of the time. A convent was later established at the corner of Chalk and Morris Streets, where Sisters undertook various ministries. In 1958, the school relocated to its current site on Morris Street, with the Sisters continuing their administration until 1975.

Upcoming Celebration in July

Activities will include school tours, food stalls, face painting, live performances, a science show, and a variety of games. A historic display will showcase the school’s evolution, and guests will have the opportunity to post their own memories and stories.

The event will also highlight upcoming building projects. Fundraising opportunities will include a “Buy a Brick” initiative and a building fund donation campaign to support the planned upgrades.

Major Upgrades Underway

The construction is scheduled to begin during the Easter school holidays and finish by the end of 2025. These works aim to provide flexible, engaging learning environments, particularly for younger students.

The upgrades are also designed to meet rising demand, as nearby housing developments contribute to projected enrolment growth from 2026.

Community Support and Future Growth

New Business Model Announced

Despite the closure, Shelf Lovers will continue trading through an updated business structure. Plans include operating as an online store, taking direct sales via email, and participating in markets and events with pop-up stalls. A new website is in development, alongside potential options for local delivery and click-and-collect within Brisbane.

The business aims to maintain its offerings, including LGBTQIA+ books, drag storytime sessions, and book meetings. Support services for professionals, such as curated reading lists covering topics like trans youth support, will also continue under the new format.

Wooloowin Storefront No Longer in Use

The former Wooloowin location, which served as the base for the business, played a significant role in building community connection. Although the physical store has closed, the business will retain its name and community-driven identity as it adapts to a mobile and digital presence.
