@Zagorath p.s. if you are interested in another remnant of Brisbane’s racist past, the reason that there are so many “Boundary Roads” in Brisbane (esp. south side) is that those were the boundaries that the Aboriginals were not allowed to cross without a permit. I kid you not.
@Zagorath Your comment on the other post made me look in further depth… I haven’t really found much on the north/south divide yet, which supports your thoughts there, but I did find this report on the boundary streets so thought I’d add it here: https://nit.com.au/01-01-2025/15602/the-boundary-streets-of-brisbane-a-history-of-division
(Though the report does seem to mention several Southside places and I think only Spring Hill on the Northside?)
