Even the name itself is beautiful – in a local Aboriginal language, Bellbowrie means ‘flowering gum.’
Despite feeling like you’re living out your dream in a far-away forest, Brisbane CBD is a mere 28-minute drive away, and with the busy Moggill Road bisecting the suburb and providing easy access to both Ipswich and central Brisbane. Bellbowrie might not have any schools within its boundaries, but it does offer a free bus service to nearby schools in Kenmore and Moggill for children and young adults, so the kids are covered.
