Brisbane agent Heath Williams says buyers are competing hard for homes with character that cannot be replicated, even as the wider market shifts. A former hospital outbuilding at 24 Brisbane St, Annerley, sold for a suburb-record $4.45 million after being converted by architect Ric DeLuca. A riverfront Queenslander at 66 Yeronga St, Yeronga, sold for $6.25 million, and Triangle House at 1 Sherman St, The Gap, sold for $1.415 million. More than 60 groups inspected a Paddington home at 61 Beck St at its first open home, where offers close on November 11.
A mobile office called the Mobile Learning Centre will bring agricultural technology to farmers across regional New South Wales. The New South Wales Government-backed bus will attend the Australian National Field Days this weekend. It will then visit Agtech Discovery Days in Orange on 5 November and Cowra on 19 November. State Agriculture Minister Tara Moriarty said farmers can see technology in action and ask experts questions. More than 1500 farmers have already visited the bus, which focuses on agriculture and horticulture technology.

Northern Territory Police have arrested and charged a 23-year-old man after a string of alleged offences in Alice Springs. The alleged offences began around 8:15am at a home in The Gap, where police were told a man assaulted a female relative and took the keys to another woman's car. Later, a stolen car nearly hit an e-scooter rider, and a second car was taken from a Kempe Street driveway after an alleged assault. The car crashed near South Terrace, and the man was later arrested at a Ross Highway property. He faces multiple charges and will appear in court.
