Description
Place TypeSuburbsHistory
Formerly known as Moggill Ferry. Riverview was a railway station name of 1881, named because of the view of the Brisbane River.
Anchorage Farm located on Riverview Road and at the end of Endeavour Road at Riverview was used as a home for both migrant boys and juvenile offenders. From 1893, it was a boys' home and from 1926, it was used for English migrants. The earliest building on the site is the manager's residence dating back to the late 1880s or early 1890s, the hostel building 'Canaan' was constructed in the early 1890s.
Neville Bonner Park was named on 12 August 1999 to honour Senator Neville Bonner AO.
