Back in 2008 my wife and I ran a bouncy castle hire franchise and our area was from Logan out to Redland Bay. Our best customers were always in the Logan/Woodridge area. We were always offered help to put the castle up and take down, always offered something to eat or drink and the castles were always well looked after. Unlike some of the more affluent suburbs where sometimes they were almost destroyed.
Hi Rob my father was the stationmaster in the 1960's at Woodridge and i lived in that railway house for some time and was the first time that i saw electricity went to woodridge state school and knew every street in the area back then, love your work mate keep it up
My grandmother lived in the second house built onGarfield Rd..I remember some train track switching handles were up stairs for a time but must have been ornamental. I think one of the city council aldermen live in the house for a short time..
A few corrections: Before it was called Trinder Park Station it was called 12 miles 15 chains. We moved to Woodridge in 1969. The first police station wasn’t where 101FM is but on the other side of the line in part of where the shops are at Railway Pde. It was a private house bought by Adrian Ponting the owner of the pharmacy on the corner of Horner Court and later moved his shop to the Argonaut Shopping Centre. It was provided by Adrian for the specific use as a Police House for the first Police Sargent and police presence in Woodridge. Otherwise you had to contact Beenleigh. My husband was the convener of the committee to establish a police presence. Proud to still live in Logan. My boys were both educated at Woodridge State School and Woodridge State High School. The morning of the train accident my eldest son used to catch that city train to go to Naval Cadets. We were up north and a friend was taking him to the train, we were relieved to find out that he missed his train that morning. Love the history of our area.
@suetreadgold2482 Thank you very much for your feedback. Regarding the original name of Trinder Park station, I have never heard of it being called 12 Miles 15 Chains. That name never came up in any of the research I conducted at the Local Studies office in Logan Central library, nor at the John Oxley. The old name for Woodridge train station was 15 Mile Siding so I'm wondering if you are getting the two station confused. Certainly, I would be very keen to see the source of your information that it was called 12 Miles 15 Chains.
I lived in Woodridge for a couple of years back in 90/91. I am sure it has changed a lot in that time. It had a reputation then too, but we never saw any evidence of rampant crime. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed this history.
That was another award worthy mini documentary Rob. I was initially stationed at Woodridge ambulance station when it was a highset house that had sheds and carports added to over the years. We nicknamed it "The Bronx". In about 2005 we worked out of a house on the grounds of Trinder Park Nursing Home until the present station was built. Police and ambulance crews knew that Woodridge was, let's say more diverse with workload than other areas. It has the only ambulance station in the state that has had an ambulance vandalised with graffiti. Sadly, many other parts of the state nowadays are just as rough if not worse.
We finally Escaped From Trinder Park and Woodridge in 1990 after we moved there from Britain in 1973. What a Nightmare and Hell Hole of a Place. Fortunately we live in a Far Better Place Now in another part of Australia.
Thank you for the history lesson, I found it very interesting and enjoyable, as a resident of Woodridge/Logan Central and on Stubbs Road I was happy to hear of the origin of the name. I am the workmate that TRocks mentioned.
In the early eighties you could pay 40 cents to see a movie at the Woodbridge hall. No one seemed to care about ratings. I remember seeing movies as a young lad that maybe I shouldn’t have😂
i grew up in woodridge between the age of about 6-11 years old (i am currently 41) on poplar ave very close to stubbs rd. i know exactly what woodridge/logan central can be like. thank you rob for helping me see my old stomping ground in a much better light. that point in time was not good for me with an alcoholic father/abused mother amongst other things. either way cheers to another awesome informative show from you Rob.
wow, I'm 50 and went to both Woodridge primary and high school. I worked at macca's when it first opened there. Now I've traveled the world and lived a few other lives since then but cheers for the walk down memory lane. It's had an upgrade.
G'day Rob, what a step back in time!!! I grew up in Kingston in the early 60's!!! Back when steam trains ruled the train lines!! The days of wood stoves and kero fridges!!! I'm also one of the 218 kids that went to Woodridge State High school in 72, also known as a "foundation student". The Chinese take-a-way shop in Railway parade used to be a Fish n Chip shop where a school mate and I would share a 10 cent bag of hot chips on the way to high school!!! I've also got a colour photo of the old Kingston railway I had taken with a camera I got for my 13th birthday if your interested in it just in case you do a blog on Kingston. I grew up in "Hall Road" as it was named back in the 60's because obviously the village hall was on it, the it got changed to Mary street. We had the butter factory over the back fence on the other side of the Beenleigh train line. Juers road, Laughlin road and Kingston road all had factory houses built on them. Back then, Kingston road was just a thin single lane strip of bitumen and the local rubbish dump was up on gold mine hill. I remember a news cast show caseing Diamond street sludge leaching in peoples back yard and I knew where that came from! Our closest grocery shopping was done at Upper MtGravatt!!! How times have changed since then. Woodridge at the time had the same reputation as Inala, Roughsville!!! it's good to have the memory shoved to back then. Logan as they now call it, comes from Loganlea which was the next stop from Kingston. The train station resembled a bus stop and if you didn't get out and flag the train driver down, the train would just whip past ya!!! Loganlea was all dairy farms back in the day. Loganlea was just a cluster of houses near the train station and two pubs, the Club hotel and the Riverwild!!! My old haunts!! Thanks for the step back and history!! Cheers!!
@MrCjaussie2 YES PLEASE! I would love to get a copy of that photo you have of the old Kingston train station. I'm currently editing my history walk around Kingston and it'd be great to include that picture. Do you have others from the area? Great memories indeed and I learnt a lot reading your comment. Where were the old pubs located?
I have lived in Woodridge and now Kingston since 1970. I was the first Secretary at Woodridge High School. After having my two sons I was secretary at Kingston State High School. All that was ever published in papers about Woodridge and Kingston was bad publicity. There are wonderful people in these areas but not much is said about them.
Back in the day, there were two particular tribes constantly fighting in Woodridge - The Bevans, who lived up in North Woodridge and down towards Slacks Creek, who drove Holdens and listened to Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin and the Spanners, who lived down on the flatter parts down near Mayes Ave and out to Beenleigh Road, who drove Fords and played AC/DC records. From the sounds of what you say, the Bevans won the war!
It has changed a lot in the past 2 years. Now half of Woodridge is middle class people migrated from Sydney because a 650m house+ land is 550k in woodridge and 2million in Sydney
I grew up in that area after moving here from the UK in 1981. Worked at the maccas in high school….ahh the memories. Interesting video. Will share it with my parents as I’m sure they will find it interesting.
I remember the opening of Woodridge Plaza. We lived in Kingston and it was so flash to have a shopping centre. Before that it was a trek over to Arndale at Springwood. Kingston is far more historical than Woodridge and would be a good one to look at. My grandfather used to live opposite the Kingston Butter Factory back in the 70s and he'd trade eggs from his chooks for butter with the workers.
I grew up in Casuis street , I remember the sound of that train crash like it was yesterday , I was playing in the back yard and I thought the neighbor who owned a backhoe had just dumped a load of steel into the back of a tipper , it was so loud.
sorry Rob, don't have sexy 4k to watch it in, but looked good anyway. I commented before on a video you did of my childhood stomping grounds, but happy to see you have done one of my home for the last 18 years. The media does hype the crime and violence, but I have never seen anything but amazing community spirit, as you saw the local markets are great. I find it to be very much a model of successful multiculturalism Cheers
I've never been to Woodridge as I've heard too many things that makes me wary but you made it look interesting. I like the artworks around. Thanks for another great video 😊
Was in Woodridge Nov 2023 and at 11am heres a bloke dping a burnout in his Commy. In plain sight, normal public road. I didnt need Google Maps to know I was in Woodridge.
I was a trolley boy at K mart while in school in 1979, grew up in sunnybank and Coopers plains ,been down the Gold Coast for 35 years ,PalmBeach ,retired 8 years ago ,life is good 😊
I also grew up in Sunnybank (1966) & was trolley boy @ kmart Sbank while still at school from 1975 & our family had annual holidays at Palm Beach for about 10 years from early 70s & my work is now based in Logan Central. Our family lived in 4 locations in Coopers Plains before settling in S'bank.
Great lil history docu @walkabout. Woodridge will always have a special place in my heart. Was good learning more about the place. Keep up the great work mate!
My husband and i bought our first house in loganlea after eight years and with three children back in brisband to raise our kids i felt so grateful we were able to
awesome! someone (Not sure if you) put one of your videos up on the brisbane subreddit and Ive been binging all your videos. As someone who migrated to Australia 8 years ago and settled in Logan I really really value being able to learn why thing are the way they are, so interesting
Great video and channel. A few years ago I worked on all those streets for Logan Council without knowing anything about the history. Really interesting.
That used to be where all the local punk rock bands used to play on Saturday nights int he late 70's, early 80's. There was quite a band scene back when. One night, they showed a movie there, "The Towering Inferno", IIRC, to try and keep the kids off the streets on Saturday nights - it kinas sorta worked, until the riot broke out.
We went there in 68 and attended Woodridge school and in 69 to Woodridge north school. We had to catch the train to go to high school as none in the area. Ended going to Sunnybank one. We left in 72.
i've been watching through all your documentaries on brisbane and enjoying them greatly!! thanks for your hard work and research rob! i've lived here nearly 10 years and didnt know hardly any of what you're bringing up, and so i appreciate the knowledge immensely :)
Well done.. I now live in the Philippines, formerly of good 'ol 'Logan.. I think the best of Loganites could take on those from THE TONDO and win.. LOL Thanks for the memories..
Nice. I really enjoyed this one. An old great-uncle of ours used to live in Woodridge back in the ancient 20th century. BTW, where the hell is Mundurno?
wow the police park has changed so much over the years! looks way different, the years i spent walking through that park on the way home from the highschool
oh yeah i remember that head on train collision. and oh hey my street was shown in the old map around 10:59. I don't recall there ever being a time capsule outside of Coles.
my uncle who worked for Harry Cameron ( Beenleigh electrician) post-war , did electrical work on Vince Trinder's house which i think was 46 Railway Parade. Any possibility thats where Trinder Park's name came from ?
From what I found out in the archives in the Logan Central Library, it's Pop Trinder. His daughter's names are also named among the streets in Trinder Park.
Hey they always do😂 Rev It up , roll high. Hey I think i chatted on the other app about the fruit shop ,Annerley other day this picture older one.. 🎉have good night ...
I lived on Garfield Rd and the station house he was out side of had some train track switching handles up stairs..but I don't think they they were anything but ornamental..my grandmother had the 2nd house ever built on Garfield Rd.. the first was way down the far end..
Much of the land along Railway Parade including the original station master's home is being taken by Transport and Main Roads as a part of the rail works to upgrade the line to the Gold Coast.
Excellent video mate. I'm developing a PC game set in Australia, was wondering if i could use the some of the voice audio from your videos to put in the game and expand the world building.
Don't forget to watch this documentary in lovely, sexy 4K!
Back in 2008 my wife and I ran a bouncy castle hire franchise and our area was from Logan out to Redland Bay. Our best customers were always in the Logan/Woodridge area. We were always offered help to put the castle up and take down, always offered something to eat or drink and the castles were always well looked after. Unlike some of the more affluent suburbs where sometimes they were almost destroyed.
There is a genuine community spirit in Woodridge. People really do look out for each other there.
Bouncy Castles are the only investment that don't lose value with inflation.

I like Woodridge. It has a charm to it.
Honestly, people exaggerate the violence that occurs there.
The worst you'll get is yelling.
@User2jn Yes. I had a lovely time there and the people I met couldn't have been nicer. No dramas at all.
I lived in Woodridge for a couple of years back in 90/91. I am sure it has changed a lot in that time. It had a reputation then too, but we never saw any evidence of rampant crime. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed this history.

@doncoleman4938 yes I think I saw something about an ambulance being marked over. Quite horrendous.
I had to go through Woodridge on my way to Ikea. Very quickly learnt a lot about the area
"Woodridge is the highest station on the Brisbane-Southport railway, I mean in terms of elevation" 😅
Well done Rob. I appreciate your videos very much. My late wife was Pastor of the Baptist Church there before we were married in 1970.
You're work at the "Hall of Fame" is pure comedic gold! Great video Rob!
@wadestevenson1874 thanks! I almost cut it out in the edit. Glad I didn't 😁
We finally Escaped From Trinder Park and Woodridge in 1990 after we moved there from Britain in 1973. What a Nightmare and Hell Hole of a Place. Fortunately we live in a Far Better Place Now in another part of Australia.

@rhondademarco4159 thanks Rhonda very much for allowing me in to have a look. I really appreciated it and am so glad you liked the show.

Awesome video rob. Cool to see the history of my home town on video.
Another great documentary walk!
Lived in woodridge for 2.5 years recently. Absolute Sh*thole!
amazing video however
It has changed a lot in the past 2 years. Now half of Woodridge is middle class people migrated from Sydney because a 650m house+ land is 550k in woodridge and 2million in Sydney
Yeah good compared with Sydney is a high standard
yeah, it's not for housecats
Thank you for this one. I go past there every day on the train, great to learn more about the area.

Nice video of the history of the burbs of Brissie. Next time maybe you could do a video of the birds. They seem keen to be in your vids.
I grew up in Casuis street , I remember the sound of that train crash like it was yesterday , I was playing in the back yard and I thought the neighbor who owned a backhoe had just dumped a load of steel into the back of a tipper , it was so loud.

@@walkaboutwithrob logan city is full of hoons. So burnouts in their cars seem pretty normal here unfortunately.

Great lil history docu @walkabout. Woodridge will always have a special place in my heart. Was good learning more about the place. Keep up the great work mate!
Bought my first bottle of wine in woodridge! I was 14 years old
Damn that's really the Woodridge spirit.
When I worked in the railway on track crew, the old guys told me the track was winding as they got paid more for each bend, 2 pound 😎
Thank you for the historical knowledge of Woodridge
This was super interesting all no more than a minute from my house, stuff I had no idea about.
Just moved to Slacks Creek , it ain't all that bad
Mate my mum had lived here in the same house for 41 and the people have changed it's nowhere as bad as it used to be
I grew up in Kuraby & remember the bang of the trains colliding! Never knew it was called Spring Creek. Love your vids 😃
Thank you! I lived in Kuraby for several years.
Another great show Rob good onya mate love your shows they look so professionally done and researched 🤔well I guess you are a professional 👍
Great video Rob. Spent a bit of my youth down that way, interesting to hear about the history of it.
My husband and i bought our first house in loganlea after eight years and with three children back in brisband to raise our kids i felt so grateful we were able to
Nice history lesson mate.
I only moved to Kingston 6 years ago but it was interesting to learn about the area.
awesome! someone (Not sure if you) put one of your videos up on the brisbane subreddit and Ive been binging all your videos. As someone who migrated to Australia 8 years ago and settled in Logan I really really value being able to learn why thing are the way they are, so interesting
@owtinoz thank you very much for your feedback! Yes there's so much to learn just in this relatively small area we call Logan.
Thank you Rob, another interesting video. love your work.
Dude, you were on my street. Thanks for all this.
I remember that train accident happening. Always think about it when I go past that area.
Interesting as usual. Nice job.
Woodridge Station is hectic. Mad fullas 🤪
Great vid. You ever plan on doing viccy point or redland bay?
I practiced Taekwondo in that progress hall in the late 80s/early 90s!
Absolutely fantastic video again Rob, I live in the Burbank area and have always wondered about the history of the Bushland here
That was really awesome. Well done.
Thank you for this one... my old stomping ground.
@Walkaboutwithrob Love your videos mate; always SO well researched! 👌
Great video and channel. A few years ago I worked on all those streets for Logan Council without knowing anything about the history. Really interesting.
Have to love the grand piano painted on the progress hall wall.
That used to be where all the local punk rock bands used to play on Saturday nights int he late 70's, early 80's. There was quite a band scene back when.

As usual, Great Vid Mate, A mat of mine lives in Stubbs Road, now he knows where the name comes from, T-Rocks 😎
my homee was so surreal seeing places ive walked alot to be covered by you, even photos of my street. so strange, fire vid bruh
Brilliant! Do Macleay Island next…
Or Cribb Island 😅
Glad you didn’t get robbed, Rob
And I didn't rob anyone either. Win for everyone.
i've been watching through all your documentaries on brisbane and enjoying them greatly!! thanks for your hard work and research rob! i've lived here nearly 10 years and didnt know hardly any of what you're bringing up, and so i appreciate the knowledge immensely :)
People yelling typical bogan Logan activities,,I like how you used less cut meme scenes this time,,well done again mate👍
Rob, this is brilliant! Keep up the brizzo history!
Great video, Rob.
is that same concept with Brunswick st station rebranded as fortitude valley station ????
Another great video Rob.
Well done..
I now live in the Philippines, formerly of good 'ol 'Logan..
I think the best of Loganites could take on those from THE TONDO and win.. LOL
Thanks for the memories..
Wow never seen newsreader Geoff Mullins as a young chap lol .
Nice. I really enjoyed this one. An old great-uncle of ours used to live in Woodridge back in the ancient 20th century.
BTW, where the hell is Mundurno?
@SOBIESKI_freedom it's out sort of west of Toowoomba. Long way. Not a well known place.
@@walkaboutwithrob Not even well-known to the Internet, either. I could only find a reference to a place in England or Scotland.
On ya Rob. Heared you met my parents.
@thebooeshow809 if they were the ones in Coles, yes. Lovely folks.
wow the police park has changed so much over the years! looks way different, the years i spent walking through that park on the way home from the highschool
Great and very interesting.
Tried to read who the famous people where. 😊 unfortunately couldn’t read them.
Loved this!
oh yeah i remember that head on train collision. and oh hey my street was shown in the old map around 10:59.
I don't recall there ever being a time capsule outside of Coles.
Can you please do a video at the Beenleigh Historical Village and Museum? Love your videos😊
my uncle who worked for Harry Cameron ( Beenleigh electrician) post-war , did electrical work on Vince Trinder's house which i think was 46 Railway Parade. Any possibility thats where Trinder Park's name came from ?
I would say it's most likely there is a connection. The Trinder name is pretty much only known from the Woodridge district.
From what I found out in the archives in the Logan Central Library, it's Pop Trinder. His daughter's names are also named among the streets in Trinder Park.
So it’s like Dandenong in vic
Great video
Many memories
Had worked at a store briefly in Kingston/Marsden, but that's it.
Oh, everytime I drive into Logan, someone wants to race me.
Someone in a black Holden Commodore? I've seen many hoons there because I'm working nights in that area.
Hey they always do😂 Rev It up , roll high. Hey I think i chatted on the other app about the fruit shop ,Annerley other day this picture older one.. 🎉have good night ...
The people yelling sounded like my grandmothers pet Galah !
The station masters house was actually inside the train line fence, up near Trinder Park Station
I lived on Garfield Rd and the station house he was out side of had some train track switching handles up stairs..but I don't think they they were anything but ornamental..my grandmother had the 2nd house ever built on Garfield Rd.. the first was way down the far end..
Much of the land along Railway Parade including the original station master's home is being taken by Transport and Main Roads as a part of the rail works to upgrade the line to the Gold Coast.
Do you know if there are plans to relocate the Station Master’s cottage?
@@Sherbet4everThat is a question for the State Government, whoever that may be at the time of the works.
Excellent video mate. I'm developing a PC game set in Australia, was wondering if i could use the some of the voice audio from your videos to put in the game and expand the world building.
@magicalmusictv919 Sounds interesting. Can you please tell me more about the game and how my voice will be used within it?
