Klappentext
Most people have never heard of Fitzgibbon, let alone imagined the rich and layered history that lies beneath its modern streets.
Though officially named only in 1975 and developed from the 1990s onward, Fitzgibbon's story stretches much further back. Butterflies and Bandicoots: On Becoming Fitzgibbon uncovers the untold past of this Brisbane suburb; from its Indigenous roots and early settlers to surprising roles in wartime, waste management, and urban transformation.
Drawing on extensive research, personal interviews, and over 100 images, Judy Wakabayashi brings to life the people, landscapes, and pivotal moments that shaped this pocket of land into what it is today.
Whether you're a local resident, a history lover, or part of a community group, this book invites you to rediscover Fitzgibbon; not just as a place to live, but as a place with a past worth preserving. It's a reminder that even the quietest suburbs carry stories waiting to be told.
