Cheap parking spaces in Milton for rent

Located just 2 kilometres west of the Brisbane CBD, Milton is known for being a commercial and light industrial area which is a long way from what the land was originally used for when it was first settled in.

The land was used for farming and grazing by the European settlements in the 19th century. Some say that the name derived from Milton Farm, after the land owner, chemist Ambrose Eldridge, who named his property after English poet John Milton.

Because the soil was good and fertile, the land was used primarily for farming and grazing, which was successful for the 19th century. With the coming of the 20th century, industry began to take over Milton, with brick works, furniture factories and tram workshops.

Milton is also home to one of Brisbane’s famous landmarks, the XXXX Castlemaine Brewery. It was built in the 1940s and features the iconic brick building and neon sign which was added in 1959. You can tour the ale house for a walk through the history of one of Australia’s most well known and popular beverage brands.

For some of the best coffee around, try Bunker. Only open weekdays, this hole-in-the-wall cafe is located in a vine covered garage which may surprise first-timers in how good it is. If you’re wanting a cup on the weekend, you’re in luck because they also operate a booth at the Milton Markets so you’ll be able to enjoy it at all times of the week.
