Keperra, Queensland
Keperra is a suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is located 12.4 kilometres (7.7 mi) by road north-west of the Brisbane central business district. In the 2021 census, Keperra had a population of 7,014 people.
The Ferny Grove railway line running east between Keperra, Grovely, Oxford Park and Mitchelton was duplicated in 2008.
Grovely is a neighbourhood within the suburb of Keperra.
Keperra has a deep and rich indigenous history. The name Keperra comes from a Yuggera words kipper/kippa indicating a young man. Two bora rings used to be located within the suburb, one near the corner of Samford Road and Keperra Street (now under housing) and one which disappeared with the construction of the Keperra Country Club. It is thought that the name derives from the initiation ceremonies of young men performed at the bora rings.
In 1865, Thomas Price sold a large portion of land in Keperra to John and Mary Nicholson who built a home and named it Groveley Lodge (the extra 'e' in the name was dropped in later years). In the absence of a church in the area, the Nicholsons held services within Groveley Lodge and later built St Matthews Anglican Church, Grovely in what is now Church Street, Mitchelton; John and Mary Nicholson are buried in the churchyard cemetery.
The railway was built through the area in 1918 but it was originally a siding located near the western end of the Keperra Country Club. Keperra railway station was named in 1932.
On 26 October 1918, 107 allotments of the Grovely Station Estate were advertised for auction by W.J. Down & Co. The allotments were adjacent to the Grovely railway station on the Enoggera line.
Capt. Robert H Cottam founded the Keperra Golf Club in 1931. It was originally called the Enoggera Golf Club, but changed to its present name in 1940. The clubhouse was built in 1939–1940.
