How does an industrial sector become one of the most sought-after socialising spots on the Beaches?
Brookvale is living proof it can. It's always moved to its own rhythm. It's been farmland, market garden, factory floor, surf city and now, apparently, one of Sydney's most talked-about nights out. The nightlife is pumping. Live music spills onto the streets. Tipsy friends wander from one great brewery to the next.
But to understand what Brookie is today, you have to go back, way back. To the creek, the tram, the Chinese market gardens, the Italian families, and the six blokes who shaped the nation's surfboards from sheds on the very same streets where your craft beer now waits.
