In 1823 explorer John Oxley named a local high point Dingo Hill ( 27°36′54″S152°54′59″E / 27.6150°S 152.9164°E / -27.6150; 152.9164 (Dingo Hill) ) which became the local name for the area. [5] This led to a local railway siding to also be named Dingo Hill. [6]

On 16 September 1925, the Dingo Hill railway siding was upgraded and renamedGailes railway station ( 27°36′08″S152°55′08″E / 27.6021°S 152.9189°E / -27.6021; 152.9189 (Gailes railway station) ), after the Western Gailes Golf Club in Ayrshire, Scotland. [7] The suburb of Gailes takes its name from the railway station. The name Gailes means "overgrown by bog-myrth". [2]

Suburban boundary changes in 1986 resulted in the Gailes railway station now being within the suburb of Wacol in City of Brisbane. [3] Similarly the hill Dingo Hill is now within the neighbouring suburb of Camira. [3]
