Breakfast Creek ("Yawagara")is a small tributary of the Brisbane River. It joins the river at Newstead, next to Newstead Park. The aboriginal name for the waterway was Barrambin. Travelling up the Brisbane River the creek is the first to join the river on its northern banks. Upstream from the Three Mile Scrubs in Kelvin Grove, Breakfast Creek is known as Enoggera Creek.
The Breakfast Creek Hotel is located near the confluence with the Brisbane River and is known for serving XXXX beer exclusively from wooden barrels. Also here is the Breakfast Creek Wharf Seafood Restaurant.
The shorter race in the annual Bridge to Brisbane fun run starts at the Creek bridge.

Famous quotes containing the words breakfast and/or creek:
“As soon as we are born, if we could but get up, bath, dress, shave, breakfast once for all, if we could ‘cut’ these monotonous cycles of routine. If the sun rose it would stay up, or once we were alive we were immortal!”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
