Geography

Bardon is located in the foothills on the eastern side of Mount Coot-tha, and is characterised by ridges separated by steep gullies. Some major streets generally follow the ridgelines, including Simpsons Road and Macgregor Terrace. The side streets connecting to these ridge-line roads are among Brisbane's steepest. Ithaca Creek, a tributary of Enoggera Creek, drains the eastern side of Mount Coot-tha and flows through the suburb in a generally north-easterly direction.[5]

The suburb is characterised by stand-alone houses on separate lots, which make up 89% of the housing stock in Bardon.[6]

Rainworth is a neighbourhood within Bardon (27°28′00″S 152°59′00″E / 27.4667°S 152.9833°E / -27.4667; 152.9833 (Rainworth (neighbourhood))).[7] Originally there was a house with large lands on Boundary Street, Rosalie (now Toowong), called "Rainworth" owned by Sir Augustus Charles Gregory, Surveyor-General of Queensland; it was named after the town of Rainworth near his birthplace in Nottinghamshire, England.[8] After his death in 1905, the house and land were sold.[citation needed] In the 1918 and 1925 the land was sold off for housing. The Rainworth Estate comprises land between Boundary Road and Rainworth Road south to Birdwood Terrace (formerly Heussler Terrace) and includes the streets of Barton Street, Dudley Street, Nestor Street (now gone), Osman Street (then Margaret Street), Rouen Road, Runic Street, and Vimy Street. The name persists through a school and local businesses. Although to this day, this locality name seems to be in such common use that they may not be lost at all, as many residents still associate their residence locations with this former locality name.[9]

History

The suburb of Bardon was originally known as 'Upper Paddington', until it was defined then renamed by the Ithaca Town Council in 1925[10][11] after "Bardon", the villa built by Joshua Jeays in 1863 and named for Bardon Hill in his native Leicestershire, England.[4] The house now forms part of the campus of St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, The Drive, Bardon.[12]

Ithaca Creek State School opened on 28 September 1885.[13]

St Bartholomew's Anglican church at 26 Simpsons Road (27°27′32″S 152°59′06″E / 27.4588°S 152.9851°E / -27.4588; 152.9851 (St Bartholomew's Anglican Church (former))) was dedicated on 26 August 1923 by Canon Garland.[14] Its last service was held on 12 September 1985.[15]

In June 1927, 25 allotments of "Wathana Estate" Upper Paddington were advertised to be auctioned by Isle, Love & Co.[16] A map advertising the auction described the sites as "High and healthy with magnificent views" as well as being only six minutes from the Paddington Tram Terminus.[17]

Rainworth State School opened on 2 July 1928.[13][18]

The tram service was extended to Rainworth in 1930 with the Rainworth tram terminus outside the school (27°27′59″S 152°59′04″E / 27.4665°S 152.9845°E / -27.4665; 152.9845 (Rainworth tram terminus (former))).[19] Brisbane's tram network was shut down on Sunday 13 April 1969. Some heritage-listed tram waiting sheds remain include one opposite 136 Boundary Road.[20]

In June 1929, 42 allotments of "Laurel Estate" were advertised to be auctioned by T. Ozanne & Co.[21] A map advertising the auction states that the estate was handy to state and covent schools and that electric light, gas and water were available at the sites.[22]

In 1937 the tram service was extended to Bardon with the Bardon tram terminus on the junction of Simpsons Road and Morgan Terrace (27°27′33″S 152°58′33″E / 27.4593°S 152.9759°E / -27.4593; 152.9759 (Bardon tram terminus (former))).[19]

In 1937 St Mary's Magdalene Anglican Church was built an 80 Boundary Road, Rainworth (27°27′54″S 152°58′58″E / 27.4650°S 152.9827°E / -27.4650; 152.9827 (St Mary Magdalene's Anglican Church / Magda's)), and dedicated by Archbishop William Wand on Sunday 15 August 1937.[23][24] In 1964 a new St Mary's Magdalene Anglican Church was built on the same site with the 1937 church becoming the church hall. The new St Mary Magdalene's was dedicated by Archbishop Administrator John Hudson. The church closed circa 2010 due to a decline in attendance and was approved by Archbishop Philip Aspinall.[25] The church and hall were sold in November 2011 for $805,000.[26][27] Since 2012 the building has been operated by non-for-profit Magda Community Artz as a local venue for artistic pursuits, known as Magda's.[28]

St Joseph's Catholic School opened on 24 January 1938.[13]

Bardon Infants School opened on 27 January 1948, becoming Bardon State School in 1958.[13]

St Mary's Anglican Church in West Bardon was dedicated in 1962 and consecrated in 1975.[29]

Tram tracks on Macgregor Terrace, Bardon, circa 1929

Prior to 1968, Bardon was serviced by a tram line which terminated at Morgan Terrace [Route 75]. The bus route has been extended from Morgan Terrace, past the Bardon State School, to terminate at Carwoola Street approximately 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) further out towards Mount Coot-tha.

Bardon is located on Metroad 5, a major north–south arterial that serves as a western bypass of Brisbane. Metroad 5 is known (from north to south) as Jubilee Terrace, Macgregor Terrace, an expressway-grade Boundary Road (1990s) and Rouen Road through the suburb where it continues into Frederick Street, Toowong. This route provides a link to both the Western Freeway/Centenary Highway (M5).

Three major roads from the west and north converge on Macgregor Terrace, in addition to two major roads from the east and south, resulting in traffic congestion in peak periods. The Queensland Department of Main Roads investigated options for upgrading Macgregor Terrace and Jubilee Terrace in 2008, but in 2011 funding for the proposed upgrades were cut.[46]
