Hiya, the gap is lovely v green with loads of wildlife and about half an hour by bus from brisbane cbd. It's near ashgrove and about ten mins on the bus from Bardon but hasn't got any train links but the buses are good!

You've not heard the rhyme - "From 10 till 3 avoid UV" then ;) It's on the radio all the time. Might be why you don't see mums with their kids in the parks :D
