Download coordinates as: Murarrie (formerly Mooraree) is an eastern riverside mixed-use suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

[12] The land use is mixed being predominantly industrial but with an area of suburban housing in the south-west or the suburb.

[14] The name is thought to be mudherri, a word from the Yuggera language (Yugarabul dialect) meaning sticky or muddy.

[16] The present hotel building at 49 Gosport Road (now in the suburb of Hemmant) (27°26′25″S 153°07′49″E / 27.4404°S 153.1302°E / -27.4404; 153.1302 (Queensport Tavern)) was constructed in 1890-1891 for publican Martin Kavanagh by Brisbane architect Charles McLay and was one of his first private commissions.

[24] In 1900, Gibson Island was used as a burial site for some of the victims of the bubonic plague epidemic due to concerns that the bodies of the dead could infect the living, so there was an initial reluctance to bury the dead in normal cemeteries (cremation not being available in Queensland at that time).

The bodies were wrapped in sheets soaked in carbolic acid and their coffins were filled with a mix of quicklime and water which has the effect of killing micro-organisms.

The policy of burying the dead on Gibson Island was subsequently changed as it was felt to be inhumane.

[29] As a result of the training wall, an isthmus (approximately 104 metres (341 ft) wide as at 2020) formed at the original mouth of the creek permanently connecting Gibson Island to Murarrie.

[30] Paringa Road now crosses the isthmus to provide access to the industrial facilities that were developed circa 1980s on the former island.

[34][35] On 11 August 1975, Queensport and Gibson Island were officially designated as neighbourhoods within Murarrie by the Queensland Place Names Board.
