Geography
The locality is on the outskirts of Nambour. The land use is a mix of rural residential housing and grazing on native vegetation.[3]
History
A rural farming area, the locale was named prior to 1896. A government receiving office was opened in 1901.[4] During the 1910s, the area had market gardens.[5] Sugar cane was then complemented by a dairy industry, and later as free from frost, bananas.[6] There was a notable Finnish population at one time.[7][8]
In the late 1890s, a sugar cane tramway was constructed that terminated at Image Flat.[9][10] By 1903, the line had been extended, but having to address a 1:23 grade.[11][12] The cane trolleys were being drawn by horses until picked up further along by a locomotive, for the Moreton Central Sugar Cane Company Limited.[13] A line extension was still being sought by 1923.[14] Sugar cane pests and diseases had an impact in the local industry in 1924.[15] In 1954, the concern had crossed to the Panama disease in bananas.[16]
A committee was formed by 1951 seeking to bring electrical light and power to the area, although this had been proposed by a Nambour committee in 1923.[17][18]
