Car Rental Kedron
- Cheap Discount Car Hire - Special Deals and Offers
When Moravian missionaries arrived in Moreton Bay in 1839 to take
up a 263 hectare reserve spanning a creek to Brisbane's north, they
turned to the Bible for a name. They settled on Kedron Brook - the
name of the stream David crossed when fleeing from Absalom.
Mammon, however, was also alive and well in Kedron in the form of an illegal
horse-racing track which had a succession of owners in the early part of last
century. The last private course syndicate included notorious Melbourne SP and
sports promoter John Wren. Wren and his associates paid $36,000 for the track
in 1912 and reaped a handsome profit when they sold it to the Kedron Amateur
Racing Club for $500,000 in 1925.
The racecourse finally disappeared from the scene in 1956 to make way, ironically,
for an education complex. The boundary between Kedron and its northern suburban
neighbour, Nundah, is dominated by an expansive green belt which offers hectares
of open and recreational space on both sides of Kedron Brook.
