Origin Of "Toowong"

In my paper to the Historical
Society, after quoting Mr. J. B. Few-
ings as my autority for the aboriginal
meaning of Toowong as "Rich Place,"
I also quoted the late J. O'Neil Brenan
as having said that it was named
from the call of, or the aboriginal
word for, the male Flinders cuckoo.
Mr. Fewings was a close friend of Mr.
R. L. Drew, the real founder of the
village.-Harry C. Perry, Toowong.

Sociological Literature

Professor Murdoch stated in this
article (C.-M., 28/6/41), that except for
Mr. Eggleston's "Search for a Social
Philosophy," there has been, for 40
years, no sociological work worthy of
mention. I wish to draw attention to

Toowong-"Rich
Place" To Blacks

Toowong, prosperous Brisbane
suburb, was "born" one day in
1862 when the late Mr. Richard
Drew bought land on the Milton
Reach of the river and named it
"Too-wong," aboriginal term for
"rich place".

Mr. H. C. Perry referred to this
in a lecture to the Historical Society
last night. It was not until 1879
that the district received official
recognition and was appointed a
shire, he said, but in 1872 a "bus"
service-a waggonette-was intro-
durced.
