Carbrook is a suburb in the City of Logan, Queensland, Australia.[2] Carbrook was previously called Gramzow, a name of German origin. The German name was anglicised in 1916 during World War I.[3][4] In the 2021 census, Carbrook had a population of 1,330 people.[1]

Geography

History

[edit]
Gramzow Mill at Logan

Carbrook was originally known as Gramzow after the village of Gramzow, Uckermark, Northern Germany, the name being given to it by the early German settlers who arrived in 1867.[citation needed]

The Alberton Ferry was established 1870 to cross the Logan River between Ferry Road at Carbrook (27°41′32″S 153°15′39″E / 27.6923°S 153.2608°E / -27.6923; 153.2608 (Albert Ferry (Carbrook terminal))) and Alberton Road at Alberton.[6] Following the opening of the Logan Bridge in 1931, usage of the ferry declined and it was closed in 1948.[7]

Gramzow State School opened on 5 November 1877, being renamed Carbrook State School in 1916.[8] It relocated to its present location in 1987 with the former school building still extant and listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.[9][10]

During World War I, German names were unpopular and many German- or German-sounding placenames were changed. In 1916, Gramzow's school and post office were renamed Carbrook.[11]

Until 1949, Carbrook was within the Shire of Tingalpa.[12]

Calvary Christian College opened on 1 February 1978.[8]

Christian Life College opened on 5 February 1979 and closed on 16 December 1993.[8]

Kimberley College opened in January 2000.[8]

The Carbrook campus of the Calvary Christian College opened in 2002.[8]
