Carina

Carina is a Brisbane suburb, located 7 km from the CBD.

The Aboriginal tribe Murris, most likely the Jagera, was the original inhabitants of the area. The suburb’s name was derived from a property on Creek Road built in the 1850s. The estate was owned by Ebenezer Thorne, who named it after his daughter, Kate Carina.

Carina is mostly a residential suburb, leafy with plenty of parks and recreational facilities, and close to schools, cafes, restaurants and shops. It offers an easy link to the Gateway Motorway if you are going to the airport, the Sunshine Coast or the Gold Coast. It is close to the city, but has a more relaxed and peaceful vibe, making it ideal for established or growing families. The houses are a mix of Queenslander’s, post-war homes and architect designed townhouses.

Its neighbouring suburbs are Carindale, Carina Heights, Cannon Hill and Camp Hill.
