About Woolloongabba

Woolloongabba is an inner suburb of Brisbane, Australia located 4 km (2.5 mi) south of the Brisbane CBD. Experts are divided regarding the Aboriginal meaning of the name, preferring either 'whirling waters' (woolloon and capemm) or 'fight talk place' (woolloon and gabba). Woollongabba is particularly famous for being the site of the Brisbane Cricket Ground, known as "The Gabba". Because the area was low-lying and swampy, it was known as the One Mile Swamp.

Although this name appears to be unofficial, it was in common use until the early 1890s. The suburb has a significant link to the history of transport in Brisbane. Between 1884 and 1969 the main railway locomotive depot for lines south of the Brisbane River was beside Stanley St. It was reached via a line that ran beside Stanley St, then crossing it, Logan Road and Ipswich Road to the main line at Dutton Park. By the 1960s services from the depot were causing significant delays to traffic as they crossed these three major roads.
