Woolloongabba, Queensland
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
Woolloongabba is an inner-city suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Its name is derived from an aboriginal word for water holes. The suburb is home to the Brisbane Cricket Ground (sometimes referred to as "The Gabba"), the Princess Alexandra Hospital and the Pacific Motorway cuts through the suburb. The area is experiencing a growth in apartment buildings due to its close proximity to the city, river and South Bank Parklands. The Park Road train station and both the Mater Hill Busway Station, Brisbane and the Woolloongabba Busway Station, Brisbane provide access to public transport. Surrounding suburbs include South Brisbane, Kangaroo Point, East Brisbane, Coorparoo, Annerley and Dutton Park. The suburb was served by horse drawn tram from 1885 to 1897. Subsequently the horse drawn trams were replaced with electric trams, which operated until April 1969. All but one of Brisbane's trolleybus routes traversed the suburb. Trolleybuses ran from 1951 to 1969. The Gabba Fiveways (the intersection of Stanley St, Main St, Logan Rd and Ipswich Rd) was a complex junction of tram lines, rail lines and trolley-bus overhead. Trams were controlled by a signalman, who operated the track points (or "switches"), from a signal cabin located near the eastern side of the junction.
