origin: Suburb name derived from Point feature name which appears to have been first used in the late 1830s. The forest country and vine scrub in the area supported a wide diversity of animal and vegetable foods. Kangaroos, wallabies, and other small marsupials were caught in mesh nets which were suitably located and the prey hunted into them. The animals were also encouraged to graze in areas that had been purposely fired to produce green shoots.
history: Name and boundaries approved by Queensland Place Names Board 11 August 1975. Boundary altered by the Minister for Natural Resources and Minister for Mines, 14 November 2003. Boundary altered by the Minister for Natural Resources and Water 9 January 2009 (CHQ022459/158).
