About cannon hill

Cannon Hill is a suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. In the 2016 census, Cannon Hill had a population of 5,533 people. == Geography == The suburb is located 10.4 kilometres (6.5 mi) by road east of the Brisbane GPO. == History == Cannon Hill was originally inhabited by Aboriginal people but, after being accused of "intimidating" the settlers, they were "dispersed" by the Native Police and Brisbane Mounted Police in November 1861, around the time when British settlement began in the area. Some land was used by settlers for farming and grazing, but the area remained mostly bushland.The suburb is most likely named after Cannon Hill House, a residence formerly located on Wynnum Road. It was occupied by the Weedon family from its construction in 1867 until burning down in 1926.
