Boundary Road History[edit]

While numerous Boundary Road/Street names in Brisbane & other Australian cities have clear and unambiguous history in township boundaries that excluded indigenous people, I can't find any clear source that identifies Boundary Road in Bardon with this history. Most sources that discuss this can be traced by to 'Street names a reminder of our racist past and they should go', a 2010 op-ed from the Courier Mail. This is not an academic source, and even the phrasing that includes Bardon's Boundary Road is ambiguous: "Most of these streets and roads were called Boundary because they represented the former town boundaries..."

Can anyone find an actual academic or historical source that explicitly supports the claim that Bardon's Boundary Road is so-named based on the history of exclusionary township boundaries? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.190.115 (talk) 00:16, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
