The voice behind Bluey’s wise and melodic school teacher, Calypso, is bidding farewell to a home as character-filled as the animated Australian Shepherd she plays. Meg Washington is selling her exquisite Spanish Mission meets Art Deco apartment in New Farm’s coveted ‘Watsonia’ building on Moray Street, a space she shares with her film director partner, Nick Waterman.
While little fans may know Meg best for her soft, sing-song voice in the classroom, she’s also an ARIA award-winning singer-songwriter. And this home has played a starring role in her own creative journey – it’s where she penned two films and two albums.
But a new chapter is calling. The couple is making a permanent move to the Gold Coast for work opportunities. “Brisbane will always be my home,” Meg shared in a press release. “My family is here. But I’m looking forward to spending more time on the Gold Coast among our film community.”
That means parting ways with their charming Art Deco treasure. The two-bedroom, top-floor apartment offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Brisbane River and the iconic Story Bridge.
Built in 1936, it’s rich in history, boasting high ornate ceilings, patterned cornices, timber floors and classic casement windows.
The real-estate listing for 6/87 Moray Street calls it an “opportunity to own an extraordinary piece of Brisbane’s architectural legacy”. But for Bluey fans, it might just be a chance to own a slice of the magic. Either way, this apartment is a rare find.
Anyone who watched the special Bluey episode where the Heeler family nearly sold their iconic Queenslander knows it was an emotional ride. No doubt Meg will take comfort in her alter ego Calypso’s wise words: “Everything will work out the way it’s supposed to.”
