KEDRON

Fun fact about Kedron - Missionaries originally settled in the area in 1838 and were granted 500 acres alongside the watercourse they named Kedron Brook, after a famous valley near Jerusalem. The suburb of Kedron takes its name from this brook. The suburb is divided by Gympie Road, with the area to the west often referred to as the ‘Padua Precinct’, while the east is known as ‘The Avenues’. Housing is a mix of Queenslanders, post-wars, modern homes, as well as a range of low-density townhouses and apartments.

Disadvantages

While Kedron offers many advantages, like any suburb, it also has its share of disadvantages:

Limited Nightlife: Kedron is not known for its nightlife, which might be a downside for those who enjoy a vibrant night scene.

Traffic: The construction of the tunnel/Airport Link has led to an increase in cars in the back streets. Also, there is no right turn onto Stafford Road from the tunnel, which may cause some inconvenience.

Lack of Local Shops and Cafes: Kedron has very few local shops, pubs, or cafes of note.

Noise: If you live close to Gympie Road, noise from this busy (and ugly) road is constant.
