Drury Street was awarded the Named Award for Residential Architecture Houses (Alterations and Additions) at this year’s Queensland Architecture Awards held by the Australian Institute of Architects.

The origin of the name New Farm
–
New Farm: ‘Aboriginal people called the area the Binkin-ba, or place of the land tortoise, and used to catch these freshwater tortoises there in a net or by hand. Then they roasted them on their backs with the carapace serving as a dish. Europeans altered the pronunciation to Pinkenba and gave it to another place. As the name suggests it was developed as a new farm for the convict settlement.’ from australiaforeveryone.com.au
