Eight Mile Plains is an outer southern suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

[citation needed] The Brisbane Technology Park is an initiative of the Queensland Government developed to provide a catalytic environment for established and emerging knowledge-intensive, technology-based companies.

Another source claims they were the Yagarabal, who ranged from Brisbane to the Logan River and west to Moggill Creek.

[7][8] In 1861, over 7,800 acres (32 km2) in the nearby Coopers Plains area had been proclaimed the Brisbane Agricultural Reserve.

[12] In 1927, two Scottish sisters Mary-Jane McCamey and Emma O’Sullivan took over the hotel and changed its name to "The Glen", because the undulating countryside reminded them of the area in Scotland where they were born.

These events attracted huge crowds and led to the formation of the Queensland Axeman's Association which continues to operate wood chopping competitions throughout Queensland and send teams to national and international events.

[6][22] In September 1883, 231 allotments of "Logan Railway Estate" were advertised to be auctioned by John Cameron.

[23] A map advertising the auction illustrates the proximity of the estate to the Logan Railway Line.

The brick church was built entirely by the volunteer labour of 30 men of the congregation with the work starting in October 1949 and mostly done on Saturdays.

[citation needed] In 1988, the Brisbane Sikh Temple was built on Logan Road followed by the Bosnian Mosque in 2014 showing the growing diversity of Eight Mile Plains.

In October 2014, a petition was made by 380 residents to excise the north-eastern part of Eight Miles Plains bounded by the Pacific Motorway and Bulimba Creek to create a new suburb to be called Wishart Outlook, the name given to the area by its developers in the 1990s.

The timber single-storied home was erected in 1892–93 by Alfred (Fred) Hughes (a local horse dealer) on land owned by Richard Hughes and reputedly given to this son, Richard, as a wedding gift when he married Elizabeth Magee in 1891.

Hughesville survives as illustration of a past way of life, and of a particular residential type - the quintessential Queensland house of the late colonial period.

The house has a strong community association, being for many years a principal landmark along the old Pacific Highway to the Gold Coast, demarcating the outskirts of Brisbane.
