Karana Downs
Karana Downs is a rural/residential suburb 23 km south-west of central Brisbane. It is bounded on its west and north by Mt Crosby Road and on its east and south by the Brisbane River.
Originally part of Mount Crosby, Karana Downs was named in 1975 at the suggestion of a real estate developer. At that time, Karana Downs was part of Moreton Shire (Ipswich City), but it has been in Brisbane City Council's area since 1998.
