Download coordinates as: Newstead is an inner northern riverside suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

[4] The northern and western parts of the suburb, centred on Breakfast Creek Road, is predominantly commercial, with the remainder, particularly near the river, becoming increasingly residential.

Timber yards, asbestos works, wharves and woolstores once dominated the eastern side of the suburb.

From 1897 electric trams ran along Commercial Road (until December 1962) and along Ann and Wickham Streets until April 1969.

All traces of the depot and its heritage have been obliterated and the site redeveloped, although a remnant of its trackwork – a unique three way set of points – has been preserved at the Brisbane Tramway Museum.

[6] At that time, the club was within the local government area of Booroodabin Division, which was established in 1879 and amalgamated into the Town of Brisbane in 1903.

[8][11] The suburb was served by the Bulimba Branch railway line, which branched off the main north coast line at Bowen Hills and descended towards the river and Breakfast Creek Road, crossing it to reach the industry, wool stores and wharves along the river.
