Exploring the Woolstores

The Teneriffe Woolstores are some of Brisbane's most distinctive buildings. Once industrial hubs for Australia's wool trade, they have been reimagined as apartments, restaurants, and creative spaces. The best way to experience them is on foot — wander through the arcades, look up at the original timber trusses, and stop wherever smells good.

Everything listed here is within a 10-minute walk of Green Haven on Commercial.
