History

Kallangur, named after an aboriginal word ‘Kalangoor’ which means a satisfactory place, is one of the most beautiful Australian suburbs. It is roughly 25 kilometers North of Brisbane and once you visit the place you will clearly notice why the place deserves this beautiful name.

Kallangur has a very rich and interesting early history. Tom Petrie was the first person to acquire the land in 1855. He was a Scottish migrant and within no time he intermingled with the local residents. He learned the local language and Aboriginal traditions. He obtained 10 square miles of land from Mrs. Griffin and named it ‘Murrumba’- which later divided into a number of suburbs including Kallangur.

Tom Petrie with the help of some local supporters cleared the land and started building mainstay of the modern Kallangur.

Kallangur was initially the land of farmers but in 1918, it was converted into a soldier colony. Farmers were joined by dairymen and the land began to develop into a bustling suburb. In 1927, the first postal office started its operation, while 1930 marked the opening of the first primary school in Kallangur. 

This suburb started growing in 1900’s, when it became the main itinerary to the Redcliffe Peninsula. Recently, the area has become increasingly popular due to inundated housing demands in the northern region. Kallangur is on its way to urbanize and modernize, bringing even more residents to the area.
