Buranda

Buranda, a former suburb that is now a locality in Woolloongabba, is 3 km south of central Brisbane. When recognised as a suburb, Buranda extended from Broadway/Deshon Streets to Cornwall Street (north to south) and from the back of the former Brisbane gaol to Norman Creek. It included the Blind, Deaf and Dumb Association and the Diamantina (Princess Alexandra) hospital. Originally known as Logan Road, the locality was named Buranda in 1921, four years after the railway station was given that name.
