Tingalpa is a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is located east of the CBD,〔 and borders Belmont, Cannon Hill, Hemmant, and Manly West. The suburb has some older style homes built in the post war period – weatherboard and chamferboard post war cottages in particular. Most of the new estates are made up of typically low set and high set brick and tile homes. Previously the land that is now being developed into residential zones was devoted to small farmlets and semi-industrial developments. The recent developments, which occurred in the last five years, are increasing the population and the median house prices of the suburb. Also nearby is the Murarrie railway station that runs west to the City and east to Manly and the bay. There are also several bus routes from Tingalpa to neighbouring suburbs. ==Toponymy== The origin of Tingalpa's name is uncertain. It may be named after Tingalpa Creek, which lies east,〔 or be derived from the Turrubal words ''tangul'' (meaning 'plant for stupefying fish') and ''pa'' (meaning 'place'). Tingalpa Creek was surveyed in 1841 and named Tingulpa, probably derived from an Aboriginal expression referring to a fat kangaroo. 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「Tingalpa, Queensland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
