Geography

Ransome is 19.6 kilometres (12 mi) by road east of the Brisbane CBD. It is on the boundary with the City of Redland. [4]

Ransome is bounded to the north by Moreton Bay, to the east by Tingalpa Creek, to the south by Chadwell Street and to the west loosely by Lota Creek. [4]

Rickertt Road enters the suburb from the west (Wakerley) and travels straight east through the suburb and exits to the east (Thornside); it is the only through road in the suburb. Molle Road enters the suburb from the south-west (Gumdale) and travels straight east through the suburb, terminating at the boundary of the locality at Tingalpa Creek. Chelsea Road enters the suburb from the south (Gumdale/Chandler) and travels straight north terminating at Lota Creek. [4]

There are two separate residential areas in Ransome, one on Rickertt Road ( 27°29′11″S153°10′51″E / 27.4865°S 153.1809°E / -27.4865; 153.1809 (Residential area (Rickertt Road)) ) and the other on Molle Road ( 27°29′42″S153°10′45″E / 27.4949°S 153.1792°E / -27.4949; 153.1792 (Residential area (Molle Road)) ).

The Cleveland railway line passes through the suburb from the north (Lota) to the north-east (Thorneside). It travels through undeveloped bushland and there is no railway station servicing the suburb. [4]

Although the suburb does border Moreton Bay, the area near the coast is undeveloped land (Ransome Reserve) and includes two unnamed islands. Although there are walking tracks through the reserve, they do not extend past the railway line to the bay. [4] [6]

Ransome was named after Charles Horace Ransome who lived in the area and had a sawmill, supplying mixed firewood to the city and the Queensland Railways Department. [3] [7] [8] At the time of his death in November 1948, he was living in Keyes Street, Lota, immediately north of Lota Creek. [9]

On 11 August 1975, the area was officially named and bounded by the Queensland Place Names Board. [3]
