Clayfield’s Aviation High Brings Flight Dreams to Life at Aerospace Experience Day


For families in Clayfield, the sky isn’t just a view; it’s an invitation. Aviation High’s Aerospace Experience Day is drawing crowds once again, giving locals a rare chance to see, hear, and feel what it’s like to be part of Queensland’s thriving aviation and space industry. 



The free community event, hosted at the school’s Widdop Street campus, celebrates hands-on learning and the spirit of flight that has long defined the area.

Event Details

The Aerospace Experience Day will take place on Saturday, 11 October, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Aviation High School in Clayfield. This free family event has grown into a yearly tradition that connects students, parents and aviation professionals. Visitors can expect interactive displays, rocket launches, flight simulators and even helicopter landings on the school oval, weather and operations permitting.

A Community with Its Eyes on the Sky

Aviation High has established a strong reputation as one of Australia’s few schools specializing in aviation and aerospace studies. The annual event serves as a bridge between the classroom and the cockpit, providing families with insight into future careers in engineering, piloting, licensed maintenance, and emerging fields such as drones and hypersonics. 

Representatives from major organisations — including Qantas, Airbus, Airservices Australia, UQSpace, Northrop Grumman and Toll Aviation — will be on hand to answer questions about what it takes to work among the clouds.

Teachers say the goal is simple: inspire the next generation. Each year, students showcase their skills through model aircraft projects, flight simulations and space demonstrations. Parents, in turn, get to see firsthand how the school’s curriculum connects theory to the real-world aerospace sector. 

The event’s interactive nature makes it both educational and fun, especially for younger children who can build rockets, make paper planes, and explore virtual reality simulators.

Engaging Families Beyond the Classroom

Beyond the technical side, the day also embraces the warmth of community life. Families can enjoy food stalls, local vendors and family-friendly attractions. Free parking on-site makes it easy for locals to drop in, spend the day and connect with others who share a fascination with flight. Door prizes sponsored by GoFly Aviation add an extra touch of excitement.

The Aerospace Experience Day aims to foster curiosity, collaboration, and confidence among young Queenslanders. It’s also a reminder that the neighbourhood’s strong link to aviation history is still alive and soaring.

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!

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.



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.

Clayfield continues to attract investor interest as part of Brisbane’s inner-northern suburbs, benefiting from proximity to the CBD, established infrastructure, and anticipated development associated with the upcoming Olympic Games.

Clayfield Swim Providers Participate in Statewide SwimStart Initiative

The SwimStart program opened its third round on 28 July 2025, offering Queensland families vouchers of up to $150 to support swimming lessons for children aged zero to four.

Clayfield Swim Schools Join SwimStart Directory

In Clayfield, two swim organisations are listed as SwimStart activity providers. Eagle Junction State School, located at 49 Roseby Avenue, hosts the Eagle Junction Swim Club, which welcomes children from the age of four and encourages personal bests through semi-competitive activities and seasonal championships.

At 49 Queens Road, the Belinda Cadzow Swim School Pty Ltd has offered structured swimming programs for children aged 2 to 12 for over 25 years. The school is known for its focus on private lessons and small class sizes, particularly at beginner levels.

Redeeming SwimStart Vouchers

To access the funding, parents and guardians must register for an Enquire account, which is required for voucher applications. Vouchers must be presented to approved providers at registration. If activity fees exceed the $150 voucher amount, families are required to cover the balance.

Before using the voucher, parents are advised to check whether their chosen provider is listed on the SwimStart directory. If not, they may contact the provider to confirm future participation.

Street Spotlight: Enderley Rd, Clayfield

Enderley Road in Clayfield stands as a testament to Brisbane’s most exclusive residential enclaves, where community stability meets premium real estate. Historical records from 1936 show the street already established, though with fewer properties than the current 30 residences that line this prestigious address today.



With an exceptional 95% of properties being owner-occupied and residents staying an average of 18 years and 4 months, Enderley Road demonstrates extraordinary commitment to long-term homeownership. This dedication to the area is further highlighted by the remarkable fact that 80% of residents have called Enderley Road home for more than a decade. The street’s property transaction history reveals the dramatic transformation of Clayfield’s luxury market, with 6 Enderley Road selling for $480,000 in January 1995 – a stark contrast to today’s multi-million dollar sales that reflect the area’s evolution into one of Brisbane’s premier addresses.

Origins of Camden House Remain Unclear Ahead of Clayfield Auction

A historic worker’s cottage in Clayfield is heading to auction on 13 May, with its current owners appealing for information to solve the mystery behind its origins.

Heritage Uncertainty at Centre of Clayfield Auction

A historic Clayfield residence, known as Camden House, has drawn attention not only for its architectural preservation but for the mystery surrounding its origins. The five-bedroom home at 34 Crombie Street is one of Brisbane’s oldest surviving worker’s cottages, yet little is known about who built it or its early ownership.

Place property
Photo Credit: Place

Background and Restoration Efforts

Believed to date back to the late 1800s, the property was purchased in 2017 by David Notley and Amanda Neill for $1.27 million. The couple retained the original name plaque, Camden House, but efforts to trace the home’s early history proved unsuccessful. Despite the presence of multiple locations named Camden across Brisbane, no conclusive link has been established to this property.

The house had already undergone restoration prior to their purchase. Since then, the couple has added contemporary touches including a formal hedge-lined frontage, updated fixtures, and an outdoor cabana beside the lap pool.

Distinctive Features and Auction Details

Camden House retains a number of period-specific details including 3.2-metre ceilings, vertical joint (VJ) walls, ornate breezeways, and original timber flooring. It features a gabled roof, wrought iron entry, and expansive verandahs.

The two-level home includes multiple living areas, a skylit kitchen with a servery window, and a rear entertainer’s deck fitted with a wet bar, ceiling fan, and heating strips. The downstairs area opens to a landscaped garden and an elevated solar-heated lap pool accompanied by a private cabana.

Additional amenities include five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a double garage with extra storage, and secure parking for two more vehicles. The home sits on a 556-square-metre block and is located within the Ascot State School catchment area.

Camden House is scheduled to go under the hammer on 13 May, listed through Patrick McKinnon and Drew Davies of Place Ascot.

Continued Search for History



The owners are calling on the public to share any information that might help piece together the property’s past before the auction date. While the house has become a refined modern residence, the lack of documentation about its origins has left a significant gap in the local historical record.

Street Spotlight: Craven Street, Clayfield

Craven Street in Clayfield represents a charming example of Brisbane’s established residential pockets, where community stability meets modern expansion. Historical records from 1936 show the street already well-established in its original form, though recent development has seen it extended toward Oriel Road, reflecting Clayfield’s continued growth and desirability.



With an impressive 90% of properties being owner-occupied, Craven Street demonstrates exceptional commitment to homeownership, though with residents staying an average of 13 years and 3 months, it shows a more dynamic pattern than some Brisbane streets. Interestingly, while ownership rates are high, only 29% of residents have called Craven Street home for more than a decade, suggesting the street attracts new homeowners who quickly establish roots. The street’s property transaction history tells a compelling story of Clayfield’s real estate evolution, with 28 Craven Street selling for $575,000 in March 1998 – a benchmark that showcases the remarkable appreciation in this sought-after inner-north suburb. Below, an aerial image from 1936 captures this historic street before its recent extension, offering insight into Clayfield’s suburban development journey.

Historic Start: St Agatha’s Welcomes Three Sets of Twins for Centennial Year

St Agatha’s Primary School in Clayfield is set to kick off its 100th year with an extraordinary beginning—welcoming three sets of twins into its Prep cohort.

The school, which first opened its doors in 1925, has been a cornerstone of the Clayfield community for generations, and this year’s centennial celebrations promise to honour its rich history while looking ahead to the future.

On Friday, January 24, St Agatha’s hosted a special Prep orientation, introducing its newest learners, including the three sets of twins, to the classrooms where history and education intertwine. These young students are set to officially begin their journey on Wednesday, January 29, marking a symbolic start to the school’s centenary year.

Principal Anne-Marie Maw shared the significance of this momentous occasion. “From their very first steps into the classroom, our 2025 Preps are stepping into history,” she said. “Our 100th anniversary isn’t just about celebrating a school; it’s about honoring the generations of students, teachers, and families who have been part of our St Agatha’s story.”

Emma Godfrey, a new parent and mother of twins Teddy and Tori, expressed her excitement about joining the community during such a special year. “We’re new to the community, but the idea of our children being part of this milestone year is special,” she said.

Honouring the Past and Building the Future

While the celebrations focus on a century of memories, the school is also preparing for a future full of promise. Ms Maw revealed plans for a new senior precinct that will include state-of-the-art classrooms for Years 4, 5, and 6, a newly relocated library within the hall, and a modern canteen funded by a generous $180,000 contribution from the Parents & Friends Association.

“To our students, past, present, and future – you are the heart of St Agatha’s,” Ms Maw said. “May this centenary remind you that you are part of something truly special, and wherever life takes you, a piece of St Agatha’s will always be with you.”

Year-Long Festivities

The centenary celebrations will unfold over four school terms, beginning with St Agatha’s Feast Day Mass in Term 1. Term 2 will feature a birthday party during Catholic Education Week, while Term 3 will bring families together for a long lunch to share stories and memories. The year will close with a Centenary Arts Showcase in Term 4.

As part of the 100-year celebrations, a time capsule will be created, containing current uniforms and newsletters from 2025, alongside a display of school artifacts to preserve and share the legacy of St Agatha’s for future generations.
