Bryntirion is a heritage-listed detached house at 287 Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by James Furnival for Edward Barton Southerden and built in 1861 with subsequent extensions. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 17 December 1993.
The house was built in 1861 for Edward Barton Southerden, a successful Queen Street draper and later first Mayor of Sandgate, to a design by James Furnival who had recently established his practice in Brisbane. Extensions have included an 1876 design by Richard Gailey.
In 1882 it was sold to Richard Edwards who gave the house its Welsh name. Edwards was a partner in the drapery firm Edwards & Chapman, and a director of Telegraph newspapers for thirty years. He became the first member for Oxley in the Australian House of Representatives in 1901 and retired in 1913. In 1896 Edwards bought and demolished the neighbouring Athol Cottage and established Bryntirion's large garden in its place. Richard Edwards died in 1915 and the house remained in the family, occupied by his grandchildren and used as a doctor's surgery.

Today we remember those who have sacrificed so much to protect our freedom. We will remember them, lest we forget. Remembrance Day also known as Armistice Day is on 11 November. It marks the day World War One ended, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918.
Welcome back Bryntirion! Here's an introduction to our pupils of the new Coronavirus Covid-19 school measures from our Headteacher, Mr Pawar.
Remembrance Day is an important event at Bryntirion Comprehensive school. Although we could not have our usual assembly, we can still reflect and thank those who have given so much for us.

I've been searching
I've been searching
I've been searching for a gold mine
To open up the skies and make me feel alive
Been searching for a gold mine
A gold mine
Well I've got trouble sleeping in
And when I feel the day begin to change my mood
It's been feeling kinda dull, and I been waiting for a call to answer to
I have to be honest
I wouldn't know what's true
So won't you take me up with you 'cause
I've been searching for a gold mine
To open up the skies and make me feel alive
I've been searching for a gold mine
A gold mine
Well I've been traveling high and low
I'm searching for that glow before it strays
I only got one life to give
Only have so long to live
Won't throw this away
I have to be honest,
I wouldn't know what's true
So won't you take me up with you 'cause
I've been searching for a gold mine
To open up the skies and make me feel alive
I've been searching for a gold mine
A gold mine
(I've been searchin', I've been searchin')
I've been searching for a gold mine
To open up the skies and make me feel alive
I've been searching for a gold mine
Gold mine
I've been searching for a gold mine
To bring the colours right back into my eyes
I've been searching for a gold mine,
