Without getting too solemn, where’s somewhere in Brisbane that you’re generally a little uneasy about visiting?
It doesn’t have to be an entire suburb – it could be there’s a outstandingly questionable bar, street or locale that you deliberately avoid.

I can’t say that there is anywhere that makes me nervous in Brisbane. I have lived here my whole life and I have also done a lot of travelling around the world. Brisbane is a big teddy bear compared to some places!
For me, the most dangerous place in Brisbane is the imported chocolate department in David Jones.
The PA Hospital. You only go there to go nuts or die.
There’s a sinister muttering man who hangs around the whole Davies Park, riverside area of West End. He’s probably harmless, but makes a girl on her lonesome very nervous when he follows her along muttering; “Mrrrmmmph ranmmf fucken’ ranmmmf rannnaff brmmmft fucken’ brmmft”.
Any cab line in the city or fortitude valley after 2am.
Caxton Street. In a Blues jersey. After a State of Origin.
I agree with Nic – any cabline after 2am… particularly when the queue turns on those attempting to jump it. I’d want a shark cage if I was a cabline security officer in the valley.
Bus queues outbound from CBD on a Friday afternoon have a similar vibe…
Have to agree after 2am in the Valley..it creeps me out even when I’m with a crowd.
The valley for sure !!! Who wants to be in the Valley after twelve anyway, isn’t that when all the drunken wankers crawl out from uner their rock?
idk bout south side but on northside a lot of pine rivers like lawnton, kallangar, bray park, strathpine and some parts of petrie
further up dakabin
also sandgate sometimes, braken ridge, sometimes bald hills, sometimes carseldine , zillmere, aspley (aspley acres, alpha caravan parks) and chermside can be only because of westfield
albany creek, stafford, enoggera can all be a bit dodgey
bowen hills (the trains station is where trains get graffed so graffiti artist hang around at the station sometimes), the valley (commonly mistaken for being dangerous all the time but only really during the night, CBD sometimes
