Runcorn, Queensland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Runcorn is a suburb on the southside of Brisbane, Queensland, and is about 15km from Brisbane’s CBD. The Jagara Aboriginal people occupied most of the land south of the Brisbane River and Runcorn would have been in the territory of the Chepara clan of Eight Mile Plains, Queensland. During the Second World War the area was used by the United States Army and then by the British Navy. Runcorn is the location of the playing fields of St Laurence's College, which is located in South Brisbane.
