Chuwar, Queensland
Chuwar is a town and suburb of Ipswich in the City of Ipswich and a locality of the City of Brisbane in South East Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, the suburb of Chuwar had a population of 2,178 people.
Chuwar is 6 kilometres (4 mi) north of the Ipswich central business district, 32 kilometres (20 mi) west of Brisbane by road. The suburb is known for its leafy streets and solid brick homes which line Allawah Road, Lansdowne Way and Brodzig Road.
Mount Crosby Road runs north through the southeastern corner.
The town takes its name from the parish, which in turn was named in October 1848 by surveyor James Warner. The origin of the name was not recorded by Warner but it has been suggested that it was the Ugarapul name for the district or a corruption of it.
On Friday 23 June 1876, the Kholo Bridge across the Brisbane River to Kholo (27°33′54″S 152°44′51″E / 27.5650°S 152.7476°E) was officially opened. Due to a period of heavy rain, the river was swollen and the deck of the new bridge was 3 feet (0.91 m) below the surface of the river. Determined to have a first official crossing of the bridge, a group of men pulled a buggy containing a "courageous lady" across the submerged bridge and Mrs Foote smashed a bottle against a bridge post and named the bridge. A banquet followed the ceremony.
In the 2011 census, the suburb of Chuwar had a population of 1,875 people, 49.7% female and 50.3% male. The median age of the Chuwar population was 34 years, 3 years below the Australian median of 37. 82.6% of people living in Chuwar were born in Australia.
