From Logan history:
Another resident at Deebing Creek in the late 1890s was Bilin Bilin who was well-known and well-respected in the general Logan area. Born in the early 1800s, he became a leader of the Yugambeh people about 1863. 17
Bilin Bilin appears to have moved widely through the area as many people recalled meeting him, usually referring to him as “Jackey Jackey”. Pastor Haussmann at Bethesda Mission near Beenleigh taught Bilin Bilin to read and write and said that he recognised him as an important man among his people.18
In 1875, Bilin Bilin was given a kingplate which stated that he was “King of the Logan and Pimpama”.
As Bilin Bilin grew older, the Chief Protector Archibald Meston pressured him to live in an Aboriginal reserve. Photographs taken shortly before he died show Bilin Bilin at Deebing Creek, a long way from his own land but still wearing his kingplate
