My introduction to Breakfast Creek was in 1958, when I was 11 years of age. My family moved from NSW when my dad was transferred here with his job at Ansett Transport Industries. I remember seeing horse trainers rowing dinghies up and down the creek with horses tethered behind, swimming. And the horses loved it. Albion Park racetrack was always referred to as "the creek". It had a sand track, where Doomben and Eagle Farm had turf tracks. Our first residence in Brisbane was in Cintra Road, Bowen Hills. I went to school at the Fortitude Valley school but I also had new mates who went to the Breakfast Creek school. I have wonderful memories from Breaky Creek days.

Originally in Brisbane fire stations, the head fireman and his family would reside on the upper floor of the building. Famously, the Nundah fire station which is a heritage building is said to be haunted with many stories of sightings of an early station master's ghost being seen on site. As an ex fireman I have had my own experience while working a nightshift there.

Interesting fact about the house 'Whytecliffe' - I went to St. Columbans College Albion (now moved to Caboolture) which is now the site of the big retirement estate on Sandgate Road on the hill. The building that served as the reception and Principal's office was Whytecliffe. As it, among quite a few other buildings at the college, was heritage listed, if yiu wander in there, you'll see it still stands to this day.

Nice walkabout around my old manor. From early 1974 to '83 we lived on Crosby Road. Dad and mum bought a house at the western end of the s-bends -- a small road that runs parallel to the main road, which I suspect used to be the original Gaythorn Road. You mentioned a series of different Albions -- where we lived is Albion Heights. Maybe just a wanky name that stuck. Our house fence line bordered Ascot on at the east and Hamilton at the south. Not sure if that's true but it might explain the "heights' added to Albion. We were teens in the 70's -- we used to buy our 'vegetation' in the Stradbroke Bar at the Albion Hotel, then partied at the Brekky Creek Hotel. Terrific memories I cannot recall haha. Thanks also for the graphics you showed. Quite a few I've not seen before.

I have always found Rob's video's incredibly informative, so was a little surprised that his account of the naming of Breakfast Creek was slightly inaccurate. While it is true that Oxley did call it Breakfast Creek, the local aboriginals already had a name for it, which was Yuoggera. However as fate would have it, when the first maps of the area were printed in the mid-1800s, a typesetter accidentally installed the letter ‘u’ in Yuoggera upside-down, so it became Ynoggera (pronounced Enoggera) on all subsequent maps. The naming of Yowoggera Park by the BCC is therefore incorrect, and strictly speaking, should be changed to Yuoggera, so as not to perpetuate a 180-year-old mistake. Of course, Breakfast Creek only exists downstream from Bowen Bridge, while upstream it is still known as Enoggera Creek, after which the suburb of Enoggera later got its name.
@walkaboutwithrob2 ай бұрын
@johnmcdonnell8182 I don't think you have actually identified a fault with my research. I related the story of how the present creek got its name, i.e. Breakfast Creek being named by Oxley. This is a well known story and not in dispute. Of course the local Indigenous people had their own name for the creek which you proceeded to discuss and detailed misspellings of the earlier name for the creek. Fine okay, but I never mentioned this in the video. Therefore, I'm wondering why you think my account is inaccurate.

Besides the requisite fury at the treatment of Indigenous people (unavoidable chapters of every story) this was fascinating. I've wondered about the e gineering of those structures at Breakfast Creek, and now I know why they were built...imports! A bridge, no less. And what a connection to mother England in the name Albion. These things do reflect the length of time places have been settled, the homesickness was raw. And, my mother's mother's maiden name is Crosby so that was special to hear. Final note... so so true about the Bike!

Yes I did miss it. And the reason being is that I was not aware of the existence of this company at all, nor of the horse on top of the building. Albion is not an area I was familiar with. With that said, it is not possible for me to include everything that adds to the history of an area. I have to make harsh decisions about what to include, and what to omit. Otherwise, my videos would run for hours, and I'm sure no one wants to watch me for that long! 😂

I didn't realise that I could walk to the Brekky Creek if I wanted to as well. Seeing you walk it, I realise it's not a huge walk lol.

very good document history. I wonder why australian television dont educate australians programes like this about australia? Many countries in europe they show a lot of history of thier own country and towns and they always have done that for years and years to educate the locals and to let them learn the history. if brisbane ever did shows and programes like this on the local channel they teach locals and people of brisbane the history of suburbs and everything. Last time i ask someone whos an australian and i ask you remember World Expo 88 ? and the reaction was they dont no nothing about it nor they dont no what it is.. this is how you can see many australians are not very educated about the truth of australia and your suburbs and cities... Maybe the attitutes are kind of like they only knows whats might happen tomorow. BUT THEY DONT NO the past history which is a missing point Again another issue for low educated on australian television. By the way australian television covers 80% everything to do wtih UK and American programing with very little made and to do with made in australia. Think about it!
