Eagle Farm first appeared as a name in 1839, identifying a cultivation area in convict era Brisbane. Presumably, the name was derived from the presence of wedge-tailed eagles in the area. The Eagle Farm Women’s Prison and Factory, a Queensland Heritage registered site since 1990, was opened in 1829 in an attempt to separate male and female prisoners and, by 1836, was home to 40 female convicts.
Despite additional fortifications, rendezvous between prisoners still occurred and by July 1839 the prison was closed. In the 1850s, displaced Aborigines from Bribie Island, the Redcliffe peninsula and Wide Bay set up camps in the Breakfast Creek/Eagle Farm area2002. Today Eagle Farm is an industrial area and home to both large and small organisations from Technology to Warehousing and eveything in between.
The cache is a 50ml plastic bottle containing a log book only. Please bring your own pen. You will need to be very careful if you search during business hours as the cache is over looked by nearby businesses. Please replace it as you find it.
