John Joseph Molesworth Oxley to give him his full name had first visited Sydney in 1802 as a nineteen-year-old naval officer but he returned to settle there ten years later. He came with the first party of soldiers and convicts located the first temporary settlement at Redcliffe and made recommendations about suitable sites for the permanent settlement up along the banks of the Brisbane River. John Oxley as the Surveyor-General of Lands in New South Wales was given the job of locating a site for a new convict settlement in 1823 and as a result of his recommendations Governor Brisbane decided that it should be situated at Moreton Bay. He introduced Ayrshire cattle to the area owned the first cream separator and was a champion ploughman. He grew sugarcane and later rice and flax. The Oxenford name came to the Coomera region with the arrival of William Robert Oxenford around 1869. The area took its name from the house while the house took its name from the familyвЂ™s ancestral home in Scotland. He started the practice of bringing South Sea Islanders over to work on the Queensland sugar plantations and this led to what was called blackbirding in the islands. Hope established here QueenslandвЂ™s first commercial sugar plantation. He also built a small chapel and rectory there. Bricks were baked in a kiln on the property. The main house itself was built by Scottish tradesmen brought out especially for the job.

The first house planks of pit-sawn cedar later became the kitchen. Expecting Cleveland to be developed as the port for the Moreton Bay region he thought that the area where he built would become an exclusive part of town. He purchased land overlooking Raby Bay and built Ormiston House there. Captain the Honourable Louis Hope the seventh son of the first Earl of Hopetoun has been described as a man of style. He ran a private school on Pimpama Creek for a while. When the railway was put through it passed right through his property. To this property he gave the name of Ormeau for his wife had lived on Ormeau Road Belfast when a girl. Major A.J.Boyd after his army career acquired land on which he grew sugar and established a sugar mill. As a result no further blocks were opened up and the OвЂ™ReillysвЂ™ land formed an isolated pocket surrounded by National Park. Four years later the Lamington National Park was proclaimed largely as a result of the urgings of two men Robert Martin Collins and Romeo Watkins Lahey. Eight OвЂ™Reilly men took up blocks on the Roberts Plateau in July 1911 : Tom Herb Mick Norbert and Ped of one family and Luke Pat and Joe of the other. The landmark in question was the centre of Ipswich. You donвЂ™t have to be a genius to work out that the name arose because it is one mile (1.6 kilometres) from some significant landmark.

The Ocean View State School was there from 1922 to 1963. Zillman and Kenneth McLennan selected large areas of land here in 1873. Views of Moreton Bay are obtainable from this upland area between Dayboro and Mt Mee.

It is generally thought that this name is a variant of a local Aboriginal leaderвЂ™s name although it could also refer to evil spirit. The township developed after the railway line came through in 1867 Leichhardt noted the she-oaks growing in the creek bed. If every Oakey creek around the countryside had a town named after it we would have towns of this name all over the place but it fell only to this town on the Darling Downs to carry the name of its adjacent Oakey Creek. Click on any of the letters below to see the list of names starting with that letter: The area extends from Gin Gin and Eidsvold in the North and out to the west as far as Saint George, Surat, Miles and Taroom. Over the past twenty years I have gathered information about place names in South East Queensland and I set out here the results of my research.
