About Wattletree Health Group
Brunswick South sits at the gateway to Brunswick from the inner-north, close to the point where the suburb’s vibrant character begins — the Sydney Road shopping strip, the tram and train corridors, and the street festivals like the Sydney Road Street Party that define Merri-bek’s community life. The suburb’s southern end is lined with intact Victorian and Edwardian terraces that were protected by the “People’s Republic of Brunswick” heritage ethos that the suburb became famous for from the 1970s onwards.
About Wattletree Health Group
