Geography

The suburb is almost entirely freehold and has a mixture of residential and commercial areas with no green space or other civic amenities. [3]

History

Bungalow is situated in the Yidinji traditional Aboriginal country. [4]

The suburb name comes from "The Bungalow", the residence of Archdeacon Joseph Campbell, a clergyman and agricultural entrepreneur. [2]

The Cairns Germania Club was established on 4 July 1971 to cater for the needs of German speaking migrants with an initial nine members. The club's activities expanded to include folk dancing. In July 1980 the club wanted a clubhouse and purchased a former church in Winkworth Street for $21,000. In 1991 the organisation renamed itself the German-Austrian-Swiss Association to reflect their wider German-speaking membership, and later simplified their trading name to German Club Cairns. [5] [6]
