Geography

Bonogin is on the edge of the Gold Coast hinterland. [3] It is about 81 kilometres (50 mi) away from Brisbane. [4]

History

The origin of name is not known, but it is speculated that it is derived from the Aboriginal word Boonoo meaning red bloodwood. [5]

European settlement commenced in the 1870s. The early industries were timber cutting and dairying. Later bananas were grown. [5]

Approval was given to establish a school in 1913. [6] Bonogin Creek State School opened on 7 July 1913. There were closures due to teacher shortages in 1917 and 1921. The school finally closed on 30 March 1924. [5] [7] The school building was relocated to Wunburra (near Springbrook) in 1934. [8]

In the 1980s, some of the farms were subdivided to form acreage residential developments. [5]

Bonogin Creek

Part of the City of Gold Coast's Beaches to Bushland volunteer restoration program includes Bonogin Creek. The primary tributary of the creek begins in the Gold Coast hinterland. A hinterland regional park bushcare group was established in 1999 to address conservation of local plant species and also attempt to restore natural habitat of the creek. Davenport Park is a suburban park running along a lower point of the creek, within suburban Bonogin. In 2013 Bonogin Valley bushcare group formed to help with restoration of the park and creek area. [10]

Amenities

The Gold Coast City Council operates a fortnightly mobile library service which visits Davenport Park on Bonogin Road East. [11]
