Reflections on New Farm

Few suburbs in Brisbane can boast a higher 'brand recognition' than New Farm, yet it's not widely known that this was the site of the 'new farm' worked by convicts from 1828, that the remains of 1870's lime kilns can still be seen on the river bank below Moray Street, or that Dulcie Markham, known as the "Angel of Death" because of her Sydney and Melbourne underworld notoriety, took up residence here in the 1940's.
