    South Brisbane: Opposite the CBD on the south bank, the area was known as Kurilpa to the local indigenous people. European settlement began in 1843, followed by the development of wharves along the river bank. Source: hicksrealestate.com.au/secret-history-brisbanes-suburbs-z/

    Manly: Bayside suburb 19km east. Land sales began in the area in the 1860s and the name came from Manly in Sydney. Source; hicksrealestate.com.au/secret-history-brisbanes-suburbs-z/
  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    This part of Moreton Bay was originally occupied by the semi-nomadic Mipirimm subclan of the Quandamooka people. Manly and neighboring suburb Lota were and continue to be known together as Narlung to the Quandamooka people,[15] likely meaning 'the place of long shadows'. European settlement of the Manly area first took place from 1859 when the land was surveyed and Thomas Jones obtained a land grant of 200 acres (81 ha). Joseph Lewthwaite built the first house in the area, a stone homestead he called Wyvernleigh at what is now the intersection of Oceana Terrace and Kooralgin Street; it would later also be known as Tingalpa House.[17][18][19] What is now Manly was known as Wyvernleigh and managed as part of the Lewthwaite's estate, which included a sugar plantation.[20] Aboriginal connection to the Manly area continued throughout the colonial period, with town camps recorded in Manly and Wynnum, and local Aboriginal groups running fishing, oyster-catching and turtle-hunting expeditions from the area into the 1920s. In 1882, the land was sold by auction by James R. Dickson for the Manly Beach Estate, apparently named after Manly, New South Wales beach in Sydney. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manly,_Queensland
