Bowen Hills is an inner suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, located 3 km (1.86 miles) northeast of the Brisbane CBD. It was named after a Governor of Queensland, Sir George Ferguson Bowen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://queenslandplaces.com.au/bowen-hills-and-mayne )〕 At the 2011 Australian Census the suburb recorded a population of 1,744.〔 ==History== Bowen Hills was occupied by the indigenous Turrbal people, who named it Barrambin and it was a main campsite for the region. The area where the Exhibition and hospital stand was named Walan (Woolan), meaning Bream (fish). Early European settlement named the area York's Hollow "...which was all wild bush, and was a great fighting ground for the blacks". Barrambin was an important location for "kippa-ring" or initiation ceremony. Tribes from the coast would travel here to have their "kippa's" (young men) initiated. In the mid-twentieth century Bowen Hills was well known as the location of the Cloudland dance hall. Cloudland's domed structure on top of a hill was a prominent landmark on Brisbane's northside. Cloudland was controversially demolished in 1982 to make way for an apartment development. In 1886, William Perry, a local businessman built Miegunyah House. The gracious Victorian era home remains intact today as a museum hosting historical talks and themed exhibitions. In the 2010s a number of new residential apartment complexes were constructed in the area, with a range of retail outlets catering to the growing population. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bowen Hills, Queensland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
