New Farm Mum

A New Farm Mum, or as the south side of Brisbane calls them, a Bulimba Mum, is a mother who naturally marries a young man, bound to be successful. These mother's drive range rovers, give their children posh names and send them to either All Hallow’s School or St. Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace. The name "New Farm” comes from the north side suburb of New Farm, in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The suburb is believed to be the wealthiest in the north side, and hence, is associated with these wealthy mothers. Although these mothers are thought to be privileged, the public perception on them is slowly changing to one of respect. Many believe these mothers are solely responsible for creating and raising the elite and aristocracy of Australia, and therefore, are responsible for creating the bright future Australia is bound to have. A New Farm Mum is an insult and a compliment at the same time.
