Car Rental Coopers
Plains - Cheap Discount Car Hire - Special Deals and Offers
Jagara People occupied the area of southern Brisbane. Coopers Plains
was probably used by the Chepara people who gathered at Eight Mile
Plains and the Yerongpan people who lived along Oxley Creek. The
Yerongpan hunted from the Goodna area, across Coopers Plains to Brown
Plains.
No physical evidence of the original inhabitants remains in Coopers Plains, although
Cunningham did mention their presence in the area. There was a Bora ring at Camira
and another on Toohey Mountain. The fig tree at Magnolia Cottage, Sunnybank,
is reputed to mark the spot of a Bora or dance ring.
The wide flat plains and wooded hillsides provided good hunting grounds for native
fauna and the abundant creeks supplied turtles and yabbies as well as fish and
eels. The marshy areas along Stable Swamp Creek were a haven for water birds
and the 'imboon' or 'jumbun' a bullrush whose roots the Aborigines would strip
and chew. Yimbun Park in nearby Macgregor was named after these.
