Wickham Terrace

Wickham Terrace commences at the western corner of the intersection of Ann Street and Wharf Street in the Brisbane central business district (27°27′51″S 153°01′44″E / 27.4641°S 153.0288°E / -27.4641; 153.0288 (Wickham Terrace, Brisbane)) and then gradually rises in a winding westerly direction up the slopes of Spring Hill.

Because Spring Hill is higher than main Brisbane township, it was attractive for its views and cooling breezes.

The better ventilation afforded by the breezes was also believed to create a healthier place to life, due to the prevailing belief in miasma (that disease was spread through bad air).

[3] From 1948, Rhoda Felgate operated her Twelfth Night Theatre in various buildings in Wickham Street.
