About this audio guide
This guide to New Farm in Brisbane traces the neighborhood back to eighteen twenty-seven, when a struggling penal colony cleared this exact stretch of riverbank to keep from starving. You will hear about the convicts who worked it and the settlers who followed, ending with the man who gave the ground its plain, literal name. It follows that ground through dairy herds and market gardens to the restaurants and wine bars of James Street and Merthyr Village today.
