The Toombul Croquet Club is immersed in the history of Nundah. Nundah is the oldest suburb of Brisbane. It was originally settled by German missionaries who came to this area with Dr Lang for a new life. Australia is a young country and there are few places which can claim traditions, and old associates of the few, Nundah must be placed in the front ranking in Queensland.
At its foundation Brisbane was a bush township. Nundah ranks as Brisbane’s first suburb, and claims association with events recorded years ago. This year marks the 175th anniversary of the arrival of German Missionaries in Moreton Bay. In 1838 the missionaries (the first free settlers) established a mission at Zion’s Hill -about a half mile east of the present Toombul Railway station.
They moved to become self-sufficient, raising cattle and cultivation.
