Before British settlement, Kangaroo Point was
occupied by the Turrbal people, they fished all long the river. They lived in caves along the cliff front.
It is one of the earliest suburbs
settled in Brisbane and subsequently, is one of Brisbane's oldest
suburbs, rich in history and character. ...
An explorer in 1823 named John Oxley described the suburb as a “jungle, fringed with mangroves with the higher land open forest, covered with grass.” In the 1825 to 1841, Kangaroo Point was cleared and cultivation of crops became its use. On the later years, it soon opened for free settlement. Surveyor James Warner built the first house at Kangaroo Point in 1844.
