Brunswick’s heritage is felt as a moving feast at the doorstep of Flux, accessible to anyone with a bike, an appetite and the time to wander its eclectic streets.

From hipster eateries and shopping on the high streets of Sydney Road and Lygon Street, it’s an easy walk to any number of Brunswick’s pocket parks or sporting grounds. Award-winning contemporary landscape design is framed by centuries-old trees, whilst the community welcomes all-comers to enjoy music, art, fashion and design throughout the year at festivals, in schools, galleries and entertainment venues all within an easy walk or tram from Flux.

BRUNSWICK COMMUNITY

Shops, galleries, churches, schools, parks and of course, cafés and bars, are where Brunswick residents come together to share everyday moments and celebrate life’s milestones. From Barkly Square to the Tuesday and Friday Farmer’s Market on the Village Green, there’s comfort in familiarity wherever you turn.

RECREATION

The iconic Brunswick Baths, updated and re-opened on the anniversary of its 100 years in 2014, addresses the needs of a community as diverse as it is harmonious. A gym, indoor and outdoor pools as well as water play, are state-of-the art. Local football, soccer, cricket and netball attract participants of all ages whilst the bike paths to the city and along Merri Creek make commuting a healthy pleasure.
