Myrtletown, Queensland

Myrtletown is a suburb^[1] within the city of Brisbane, in Queensland, Australia. East of Pinkenba, it is situated near the northern bank of the mouth of the Brisbane River. Formerly a semi-rural residential area, the construction of the Brisbane Airport at nearby Cribb Island caused most residents to leave. The area's school closed in 1971^[2], and the area has become increasingly industrial ever since.
