Like all good locations, Eagleby was chosen as a place to settle by Queensland’s early settlers. The lower slopes of the Darlington Range which decend to Eagleby and Beenleigh were accessable by boat from both the Albert and Logan Rivers. This high ground provided a firm and dry dissembarkment location for men to access the higher mountain ranges that decended from the ancient and extinct Mt Warning volcano. Here the giant tress of the sub-tropical forests could be harvested. In the conquest of this New World Wilderness, food produced on Eagleby’s fertile river soils sustained the combatants.

Today it is an exclusive and settled modern suburb with a highly desired level of legislative protection from the forces of external growth and expansion. If you want more than an endless suburban road lined with Hot Chickens, Video Stores and traffic lights then consider the settled location of Eagleby.
