Kallangur

Kallangur, a residential suburb in the Pine Rivers district, is at the junction of Old Gympie Road (the former Bruce Highway) and the road to Redcliffe (Anzac Avenue). It is 26 km north of central Brisbane. The name was derived from an Aboriginal word thought to denote a good place.

Situated east of the North Coast railway line, Kallangur extended southwards from Dakabin to the North Pine River. In 1979 its southern part was gazetted a separate suburb, Murrumba Downs.
