Been wanting to try this place for a while. Family and I made a reservation for Wednesday night, and were glad we did because it was absolutely packed! Should be noted that they have those QR codes to order, which I find annoying, but they do still let you order at the counter as well. I have a couple of allergies, and the staff were really good about noting it on the order to be extra careful with cross-contamination, and were also really knowledgable about what I could and couldn’t have on the menu. All of the meals were absolutely delicious & very generous portion sizes. We will definitely be back!

The food is excellent quality, as is the service. Every dish I’ve had has been masterfully cooked, having great flavour, texture, presentation, and with generous portion sizes. I’m not a local, but I will keep coming back here, it has quickly become one of my favourite Thai restaurants in Brisbane!

Menu highlights:

– Massaman beef curry
– Duck red curry
– Cashew nut sir fry
– Thai fried rice
– Pad Thai

What a beautiful spot for decadent sandwiches!
Great coffee and the staff were super kind.

Went at 6am with a friend and sat in the front window. Such a nice location to sip coffee and watch the world go by.

Inside seating is a little limited, so either sitting in the window or on the tables attached to the garden beds are the way to go.

Real Estate Legacy Rooted in Tarragindi Inspires Generations

The foundations of one of Ray White’s top-performing businesses trace back to Tarragindi, where a mother’s early real estate career inspired a family legacy.

Family Foundations Laid in Tarragindi

Ray White Collective, now Australia’s highest-performing Ray White business, has its origins in Tarragindi, where Judith Cush first entered the real estate industry. After relocating from Papua New Guinea, she purchased a colonial home in the suburb and developed a strong interest in property. That interest led her to join Ray White Moorooka, where she negotiated flexible work hours to balance parenting with her new role.

Haesley Cush & Judith Cush

Judith’s children quickly became part of the daily routine. After school, they would help stamp boxes of contracts in the office, an early task that introduced them to the profession. They occasionally accompanied her to inspections, experiences that played a formative role in Haesley Cush’s later career choice.

From Local Beginnings to Industry Leader

Haesley eventually joined his mother at Ray White Moorooka, spending six years learning the business alongside her. In 2005, he purchased Ray White New Farm and went on to establish Ray White Collective, leading its expansion across Brisbane and into national prominence.

Throughout his career, the influence of Tarragindi and his mother’s work remained a reference point. His understanding of work ethic and community engagement was shaped by watching Judith’s efforts during those formative years.

Passing the Torch to the Next Generation

The family’s real estate journey has now entered its third generation. Haesley’s daughter, Vivienne, regularly joins him at auctions, reflecting the role he once had supporting his mother’s work. This continuity highlights the intergenerational nature of their involvement in the industry, rooted in experiences that began in Tarragindi.

From Cow Shed to City-View Home

An original dairy cow shed in Tarragindi has undergone a 22-year transformation into a distinctive multi-storey residence now set to go under the hammer. Purchased privately in 2003 by a couple with architectural and construction experience, the property at 6 Thornycroft Street is positioned on an elevated block backing onto Toohey Forest.

Initially serving as a rural utility structure, the original cottage was acquired for around $300,000. Renovation milestones included major works completed 15 and eight years ago, with final additions finished in the past year. The transformation has preserved select structural elements of the original shed.

The layout includes four bedrooms—one a self-contained studio—four bathrooms, three kitchens, two living areas, a media room, and a full-size gym with separate access.

Interior features include handcrafted Moroccan chandeliers, spiral staircases, encaustic tiles, and artisan timber finishes. External highlights include landscaped gardens, dual street access, caravan and boat parking, and multifold doors for indoor-outdoor living. Smart home features include ducted air conditioning, Wi-Fi lighting, and integrated security systems.

Architectural Integrity Meets Historical Legacy

Proceeds directly support the Mater Mothers’ Neonatal Critical Care Unit. They treat over 1,700 premature and critically ill babies each year.

The auction took place on Saturday, 5 April, with more than 300 people in attendance. Sixteen registered bidders competed for the four-bedroom home, which was ultimately secured by a local family who viewed the property that same morning.

New Wine Spot in Tarragindi: LPO Neighbourhood Wine Store Opens Its Doors

Tarragindi has just welcomed a new addition to its growing neighbourhood scene with the opening of LPO Neighbourhood Wine Store. Located at 100 Windmill St, the store brings a fresh take on wine retail, blending accessibility with a carefully curated selection of bottles.

Read: Inside Dijon Toasties, Tarragindi’s New Hotspot for Sandwich Lovers

The idea for LPO came from comedian Matt Okine, who, after returning to Brisbane from Sydney, found it difficult to source quality wine in his local area. To bring his vision to life, he teamed up with Dan Wilson, a longtime friend with experience running wine bars in London. Together, they set out to create a space where locals could not only buy wine but also enjoy a casual tasting experience.

Photo credit: lpo_wine/Instagram

Unlike a standard bottle shop, LPO operates under a licence that allows it to sell wine by the glass, giving customers the chance to sample different varieties before making a purchase. The store keeps a rotating selection of four whites and four reds available for tasting, ensuring there is always something new to discover.

Photo credit: lpo_wine/Instagram

The focus is on making good wine approachable and affordable. Customers can expect to find high-quality bottles at a range of price points, with some available for under $20. The goal is to create a space that feels welcoming and accessible, whether someone is stopping by for a special occasion or picking up a bottle to enjoy at home.

The store’s name, LPO, is a nod to the building’s history as a Local Post Office, adding a touch of character to the venture. Open from Wednesday to Sunday, 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., LPO Neighbourhood Wine Store is set to become a go-to spot for wine lovers in Tarragindi looking for a mix of quality, affordability, and community spirit.

Brisbane City Council has announced a $7,500 Community Clean-up Payment for not-for-profit clubs located on council-leased sites, including those in Tarragindi and Wellers Hill. This initiative aims to assist in the immediate recovery efforts, allowing clubs to address damages caused by the recent severe weather.

The Lord Mayor stated that the funds can be used for various clean-up activities, such as clearing fallen trees, removing debris, and repairing wind or water damage. The council recognises the importance of these local clubs, which include sporting groups, historical societies, men’s sheds, and craft groups, in fostering community spirit and providing essential services. To access the funding, clubs must complete a survey and provide photographic evidence of sustained damage.

This process ensures that the assistance is directed to those most in need, facilitating a swift return to normal operations for community members. The council noted that similar programs were implemented after the 2011 and 2022 floods, demonstrating their commitment to supporting local organisations during challenging times.

The government acknowledges these clubs’ significant role in community life and aims to ensure they can resume activities as quickly as possible. It was also stated that approximately 5,000 clubs across South East Queensland are located in affected areas, and damage assessments are underway to determine the full extent of the impact.

The local effort, coordinated through the charity Someone Who Cares, aims to fill a shipping container departing on 17 March. Donations are accepted at Wellers Hill Bowls Club until 8 March. The drive was initiated due to a request from Cheshire Disability Services, highlighting the critical need for items to improve the daily lives and well-being of those they serve.

Urgent Needs and Community Response

The request from Papua New Guinea outlined a range of items vital for the individuals supported by Cheshire Disability Services. Personal hygiene products, such as soap, toothpaste, and shampoo, are in high demand. Furthermore, hospital-grade body moisturiser is needed to prevent pressure sores, a common issue for individuals with long-term disabilities. Soft socks and sheepskins are also requested to protect fragile feet and joints. Pillows are required to aid in comfortable sleep and physiotherapy sessions.

Beyond basic hygiene and comfort items, physiotherapy equipment is urgently needed. Microwaveable heat packs, reusable cold packs, backpacks for carrying treatment kits, and bum bags for physiotherapists are all vital for effective care during home visits. The most pressing request, however, is for sewing machines, needles, thread, and materials, enabling individuals to make their clothes and develop essential skills.
