Breakfast Creek (Queensland)
- Breakfast Creek (Queensland)
Breakfast Creek is a small tributary of the Brisbane River. It joins the river at Newstead, next to Newstead Park. The aboriginal name for the waterway was Barrambin. Not far upstream beyond Sandgate Road the creek becomes Enoggera Creek. Travelling up the Brisbane River the creek is the first to join the river on its northern banks.
The Breakfast Creek Hotel is located near the confluence with the Brisbane River and is known for serving XXXX beer exclusively from wooden barrels. Also here is the Breakfast Creek Wharf Seafood Restaurant.
The shorter race in the annual Bridge to Brisbane funrun starts at the Creek bridge.
History
John Oxley and Allan Cunningham met members of an aboriginal clan at the mouth of the creek in 1824. They had breakfast at the site and so named the waterway thusly.
One of the first settlers on the creek was Patrick Leslie who in 1845 built the still standing Newstead House.
Various streets close to Breakfast Creek were affected by the 1974 Brisbane floods.
