47 Belclare Street, The Gap QLD 4061, Australia
The Gap is about 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) by road north‑west of the Brisbane GPO, so the house is roughly that distance from the city centre.
Enoggera Reservoir (≈1.1 km) and Enoggera Dam (≈1.4 km) are within easy reach, and Brisbane Forest Park is about 1.5 km away, offering bushwalking, wildlife viewing and other outdoor activities.
The suburb is well served by public bus routes that run along Waterworks Road, the main arterial road connecting The Gap to neighbouring suburbs and to Brisbane city.
The Gap Village shopping village and the local police station on Waterworks Road are both within a few kilometres, providing retail, services and a safety presence.
Originally inhabited by the Turrbal people, the area later became a timber and farming region and was named for the valley between Mount Coot‑tha and Enoggera Hill that forms “the gap” in the Taylor Range.
According to the 2021 census, The Gap had a population of 17,318 people.
The Gap contains over 45 green parks; nearby Walton Bridge Reserve and the bushland of Brisbane Forest Park provide walking tracks, playgrounds and dog off‑leash areas.
