Banyo History

Along with neighbouring suburb Nudgee, Banyo borders on the Bondall Wetlands and it’s land is part of the preservation of the Aboriginal Bora Ring. Originally populated by the Oondumbi people of the Turrabul Clan, Banyo saw its first European settlers as early as 1849. It was first settled by farmers and one of the first people was James Robinson, who is now remembered by the naming of “Robinson Road”. Originally named Clapham Junction, the area was later renamed Banyo after the local Aboriginal word for “a small hill or mountain”. The name change coincided with the opening of the Banyo railway station, which is now the heart of Banyo’s thriving commercial district.

Banyo’s population is diversified, with a higher percentage of mature, established couple and families residing there.
