Nudgee Real Estate

Nudgee is a residential suburb located 13km north of the Brisbane CBD. This charming suburb is easily accessed by train and is much loved by its residents, thanks to its many parks and services. The name is thought to derive from an Aboriginal word meaning ‘wild or black duck’. Originally it encompassed the suburbs of Banyo and Boondall, which is why some of Nudgee’s historic buildings are now located within the new areas.
