Moggill is a suburb in the west of the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.〔 It is about from the Brisbane CBD. It comprises a mixture of small-lot and acreage residential homes along with a small number of remaining farms. Moggill is located in the Parish of Moggill〔(Parishes of Moggill and Indooroopilly, City of Brisbane Town Plan Maps ). Retrieved 8 February 2011〕 within the County of Stanley, Queensland. == History == The Brisbane River and Moggill Creek were rich in resources and evidence of Aboriginal occupation includes Bora grounds near the Moggill Pony Club and O'Brien Road. Another Bora ring is located near Riversleigh Road. John Oxley the first European visitor, named it Termination Plains when he landed in the Priors Pocket area in 1823. In 1848 a profitable coal mine owned by John Williams commenced operation.〔(John Williams Biography ), Australian Dictionary of Biography, 5 January 2007. Retrieved 5 January 2007〕 The first survey of Moggill was in 1851, with a township planned in the vicinity of Weekes Rd, however it was later established near the present school. A cemetery was established in 1865. The Moggill State School opened a year later starting as a two-room schoolhouse and remaining that way until 1970 when the population of the area started expanding rapidly. At about this time Moggill was divided into three suburbs, the other two were named Anstead and Bellbowrie. The name of the creek is derived from 'Magil', from Yuggera (Jagera) Nation language meaning water dragon. After 2004, the traditional Moggill pineapple farms, situated on the rich red clay soils around Witty Road and Priors Pocket Road, began to be subdivided for housing. There was vocal opposition to the subdivision from Moggill residents, who wished to preserve the rural amenity of the area with larger block sizes. In spite of this, the average block size of the new estates is around 700 m². 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「Moggill, Queensland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
