There has been some discussion over the origin of the name. Some believe it comes from the [[Indigenous Australians|Aboriginal]] name for a [[stream|creek]] that passes through the suburb and into [[Norman Creek]] near the (now) [[Coorparoo railway station, Brisbane|Coorparoo railway station]]. For thousands of years Aborigines lived on the fertile land on the banks of the [[Brisbane River]], hunting and fishing.
