Download coordinates as:
Albany Creek is a southern suburb in the City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, Albany Creek had a population of 16,385 people.
Albany Creek is located approximately 17 kilometres north-west of the Brisbane central business district.
Cashs Crossing is a historic crossing point of the South Pine River (27°20′30″S 152°57′40″E / 27.3418°S 152.9611°E). It takes its name from early settlers James and Mary Cash, who settled near the crossing point. South Pine Road now crosses the river at that point via a bridge.
Albany Creek is situated in the Yugarabul traditional Indigenous Australian country.
The suburb of Albany Creek was originally established on the intersection of two Aboriginal tracks. The main track formed the primary route north of Brisbane and is still known as "Old Northern Road". The second track formed a route from Old Northern Road to Little Cabbage Tree Creek in Aspley and onto Downfall Creek in Chermside. Albany Creek Road and Gympie Road now follow this second route.
Albany Creek was originally known as Chinaman's Creek before its name was changed due to growing anti-Chinese sentiment amongst local residents resistant to rising migration that came with the newly-opened gold fields. The new name was chosen in 1885 to honour the Duke of Albany.
A United Methodist Free Church opened in Chinaman's Creek on Sunday 30 December 1866.
