Brisbane's oldest surviving home sits on the headland the Turrbal and Jagera peoples called Garranbinbilla — where Breakfast Creek meets the Brisbane River. Built in 1846 for Scottish squatter Patrick Leslie, the two-storey house was reportedly overseen by pioneer architect Andrew Petrie. Now a house museum, it's worth visiting less for the Victorian furnishings than for how legibly it holds the collision of colonial ambition and dispossession.
