📖 Origin Lore
Founded in the 1800s as a pastoral colony under British expansion, Eagle Farm began as a convict-run agricultural station. It grew to house one of Queensland’s most prestigious racecourses by the late 19th century. During WWII, it transformed into an aviation and military hub — a strategic strip of airfields, factories, and resilience. Today, the ghosts of gallops and gears whisper through heritage façades and flight paths.
