St Johns Wood, Queensland
St Johns Wood is a locality within the suburb of Ashgrove in Brisbane, Australia. A small residential pocket at the base of Taylor Range, it is embraced by a loop of Enoggera Creek and by the Ashgrove Golf Club, Brisbane City Council Reserve and the Enoggera Barracks. The locality was originally inhabited by the Indigenous Turrbal people before it opened up to European settlement during the second land-sales of the district in 1858, with the homestead called St John's Wood House (also known as Granite House) founded in 1864. It remains and occupies a small parcel of land within the locality, with the remainder being subdivided into housing allotments. Additionally, it is home to St Johns Wood Scout Group and The Woods Early Education Centre & Pre-school. The neighbourhood is accessed by either vehicular bridge, bikepath or footbridge. A prominent controversy for St Johns Wood surrounds the question of whether Princes Albert and George visited St Johns Wood on their visit to Brisbane in 1881.
==Indigenous history==
The St Johns Wood and wider area (Ashgrove's native name is "Kallindarbin") was originally inhabited by the indigenous Turrbal or "Duke of York" clan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =http://www.brisbaneqld.com.au/history/aboriginal.html )〕 The main thoroughfare, Waterworks Road, was built on a Turrbal pathway that led to Mount Coot-tha, a place of the "Honey-Bee Dreaming". The water holes along Enoggera Creek and its tributaries, with their dense fringing scrubs, met many of the needs of a hunter-gatherer society.〔Paten, Dick; Ashgrove Historical Society (2010), Ashgrove and The Gap : aspects of history 1849–2003: land, access, institutions and people, Ashgrove Historical Society Inc, |P7|ISBN 978-0-646-53532-6〕 With its rainforests, eucalypt forests and connection to the Brisbane River, it would have provided a source of freshwater and food for the Turrbal people. The rainforests yielded yams, black beans and wild figs, all of which still grow along the creek today.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/documents/environment/bushland_and_waterways_know_your_creek_enoggera.pdf )〕 Everyday life for the tribe consisted of hunting and gathering food, with time for games, and other social and spiritual activities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =http://www.brisbaneqld.com.au/ashgrove/history.html )〕 Inevitably with the expansion of European influence the balance of land use changed and this led to the eventual displacement of the Turrbal from their traditional base.〔Shaw, Barry, 1947–; Brisbane History Group (2010), Brisbane : people and places of Ashgrove (1st ed.), Brisbane History Group, P29 ISBN 978-0-9751793-6-9〕
