Bellbowrie
Bellbowrie, a residential suburb, is 18 km south-west of central Brisbane. Formerly part of Moggill, it includes the Moggill cemetery. The Moggill primary school is immediately outside its southern border.
Bellbowrie began as a 2000-lot housing estate, and its name was derived from an Aboriginal expression thought to describe a place of flowering gums. The suburb was named at a ceremony conducted by the Lord Mayor at the Bellbowrie shopping plaza in 1973.
