Bulimba is reportedly a Yugarapul word used meaning 'place of the magpie lark'.[3] The same word is the origin of the nearby Bulimba Creek,[4] and of the Bulimba Reach on which the suburb is located.[5] The leader, Bilin Bilin, has his name based upon the magpie lark, or the pee-wee.
History
Bulimba was originally inhabited by the Yuggara people, who have lived in the area for at least 20,000 years.[6]
In the 1820s, Bulimba was called Toogoolawah and was settled as a farming district, with residential subdivision commencing in the 1880s land boom.[7]
In 1862, a Baptist church opened in Bulimba.[8] [9] In April 1886, a new Baptist Church was erected on the same site.[8] [10] [11]
In April 1864, local residents began to lobby for a school.[12] [13] [14] Bulimba Mixed School opened on Monday 16 July 1866 with an initial enrolment of 45 students.[15] The school initially operated out of the Wesleyan Chapel until the school buildings and teacher's residence were completed in 1867. It was subsequently renamed Bulimba State School.
David McConnell of Bulimba House held the first religious services in his home. A Primitive Methodist congregation was formed and met "in the shade of a large tree which stood midway between the Bulimba Ferry and the site of the present church". The Primitive Methodist Church was built in 1866, opening on Good Friday, 30 March 1866.[16] [17] It was the first church in the district. Growing suburban development in the area required a larger church, so a two-storey addition was added to the front of the church in 1926 as part of the church's 60th year celebrations, with the upper storey extending the existing church, while the lower storey was used as a hall and kindergarten.[18] [19] With the amalgamation of the Methodist Church into the Uniting Church in Australia in 1977, it became the present Bulimba Uniting Church.[20] [21] [22]

In honour of the World War I servicemen who died in the conflict, the name of the park was changed to the Bulimba Memorial Park on 4 November 1919, trees were planted, and an honour board was mounted. Each tree was dedicated to a Bulimba serviceman, and labeled with plaques. The plaques and many of the trees are no longer there, however the Brisbane City Council and Bulimba District Historical Society are currently working on a project to replace the honour board, and plaques for those servicemen who bravely fought.[48] [49] [50] [51]

Bulimba resident Frederick Dickson (son of Queensland Premier Sir James Dickson) was best known for his position as acting judge in the Queensland Industrial Court in 1916. He ordered the reinstatement and reimbursement of wages for a Queensland worker, which resulted in becoming Queensland's first dismissal case.
