Almost any local neck of the woods in Brisbane has a weird street. Maybe it’s some suburban occupants that give the place a little too much character.
Possibly it’s a type of freaky architecture or local feature that makes the street simply a little bit peculiar, or altogether awesome.
Or there’s a amazing urban legend or human history close to a particular street in Brisbane.
Probably it’s your favorite street in the city and you’ve got a darn good reason or fondly-held recollections as to why.
Perhaps it’s a just a truly dumb name for a street in Brisbane.
Let us know yours!

Bogan Street, in Breakfast Creek.
I can think of better suburbs suited for it though…
ZigZag Street!
Kangaroo Point / East Brisbane has two Sinclair Streets. I think that is fucking ridiculous. I don’t care if they’re technically in different suburbs, they’re way too close together.

Austral Street in St. Lucia. Someone forgot to add ‘ia’ at the end.
Spook Hill (Boundary Road) in Toowong Cemetery – It pulls cars UP it without any explanation – except maybe optical illusions or giant underground magents.
Dickebusch St in Tarragindi.
What about Whynot st in West end?
Horsefall street in Paddington.
I love some of those New Farm streets when the jacaranda trees are in full bloom! Awesome!
I love that little side street at kangaroo point that comes out under the cliffs with the really steep hill that everyone uses to avoid vulture/stanley street mess on their way to southbank/west end.
I second WhyNot St in West End too … I’ve photographed that sign a heap of times, luv that name.
Cairns Terrace, Red Hill. The upper part ends in a dead end and a staircase to the lower end. You can’t get from one end to the other with a big detour around the block. Brisbane’s best city views from the top. Awesome when there’s a full moon.
ZigZag Street Red Hill cause it doesn’t Zig or Zag and because it’s also the name of Nick Earls 1st book
I always wanted to live at number 69, Whynot St.
Austral is an adjective.
I like clusters of streets with name themes. Like the actors in Mitchelton, the constellations in Oxley, the British Prime Ministers in Indooroopilly, the birds in Forest Lake, the trees in Surfer’s Paradise.
Upalong Rd.
Silly name placement: Bellevue Pde / Bellevue Tce in Taringa. Barton Rd / Barton St in Hawthorne.
Try tracing out South Pine Rd! Why does the Name Swann Rd turn right?
How many different names does a road need? Kelvin Grove / Enoggera / South Pine / Sicklefield / Shand / Appleby / Maundrell.
108 Sinclair dr
the old subway near fortitude valley
Turin St, West End because behind it’s serene facade it’s bursting with old Greek charm and tradition.
dammit i was going to post that:) I love that name
Has to be ZigZag Street what other Australian Author has named a book after a street way to go Nick Earls love his books
