Residential street in the Brisbane suburb of Kangaroo Point, 1935

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Kangaroo Point: Directly east across the river from the city, one of Brisbane’s oldest suburbs, the first house being built in 1844. In 1823, explorer John Oxley described the area as a “jungle, fringed with mangroves with the higher land open forest, covered with grass”.

Brisbane suburb of Virginia, 1952

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Selectively occupied for farm purposes, Virginia became an identified district with the opening of the North Coast railway line in 1888. Four years later the Virginia Brick company was formed, with its quarry and works west of the railway station. A post office was opened in 1898. A small village formed around the railway station, with a Presbyterian church (1911) and a primary school (1920) to the west, and a general store and houses near the junction of Toombul and Sandgate Roads on the other side. A School of Arts (1922) was shared with Northgate at the corner of Scott and Ridge Streets. Although there was local employment at the brick and pipe works, the Northgate railway workshops and the fruit cannery near Banyo, residential development was not forced out to Virginia until the late 1950s. Development included several factories along the railway corridor, which by the late 1990s were being redeveloped for other commercial uses. Source: www.queenslandplaces.com.au/virginia

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The locality takes its name from the Walter Hall railway station, which was named on 26 November 1898 after businessman Walter Russell Hall, who was a major shareholder in the Mount Morgan Gold Mining Company Limited. Source; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walterhall
