History

The name Moogerah was used by Yuggera people, meaning thunder. [2]

In 1906, dairy farms of 81 to 261 acres (33 to 106 ha) were sold as the Moogera Paddock estate. The estate was centred around the confluence of Coulsen's and Reynold's Creek, land which is now under the Moogerah Dam. One of the advertised benefits of the estate was its proximity to the proposed Via Recta railway (a "straight" route from Brisbane to Sydney), which was never built. [11]
