LIFESTYLE
West End, like Onyx, offers contrasting features, an eclectic combination of community and cosmopolitan – and all right on your front door step.
The West End is a vibrant blend of urban culture and the outdoors on the banks of the Brisbane River. It offers a lively mixture of Brisbane’s best cafés, restaurants, shops, live music venues and bars. There’s always something going on in this multicultural hub, from exhibition openings and live music to farmers’ markets and vintage fashion fairs. The streets and parks are always buzzing with people and activity.

West End is alive with art and culture and Onyx is only moments from Brisbane’s world-renowned galleries, museums and performing arts centres.
One minute you could be rummaging through a treasure trove of titles at the ‘Bent Books’ second-hand bookshop, the next taking your seat at the opera at Queensland’s performing Arts Centre. If you’re looking to get outdoors and enjoy the view from the water, why not try your hand at rowing along the Brisbane river.
Onyx allows you to live a carefree lifestyle with effortless access to all that the city has to offer. There are high-frequency bus services that run toward the city as well as a City Cat ferry service that goes to the University at Saint Lucia and down river to Hamilton.
South Brisbane railway station and the Cultural Centre Busway station provide quick access to the suburbs. If you’d prefer the open air, simply take to the footpath or jump on your bike and cross the Go Between Bridge!
