There are two roads named South Pine Road to the north of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia. They are two separate roads rather than a disconnected single road. It is likely that the duplicate naming is the result of actions by two former local authorities, the Shire of Enoggera and the Shire of Pine Rivers.

The first road (Road 1) runs in a northwesterly direction from Alderley (in the former Shire of Enoggera)[3] to Arana Hills, a distance of 7.4 kilometres (4.6 mi), from where it continues generally northwest as Bunya Road to Draper, where it crosses the South Pine River. It carries the Metroad 5 shield from Enoggera to Everton Park, State Route 29 from Everton Park to Everton Hills, and State Route 40 through Everton Hills.[1]

The second road (Road 2) runs in an indirect northerly direction from Albany Creek (in the former Shire of Pine Rivers)[4] to Strathpine, crossing the South Pine River as it leaves Albany Creek. It carries the name Albany Creek Road through part of Albany Creek, and the State Route 28 shield for its entire length, a distance of 8.4 kilometres (5.2 mi).[2] It is a state-controlled road (number 403), part regional and part district, rated as a local road of regional significance (LRRS).[5][6]

Route description

[edit]

Road 1

[edit]

South Pine Road (Road 1) starts at an intersection with Samford Road (State Route 22) and Enoggera Road in Alderley with no route number. It runs northwest by north, crossing the Ferny Grove railway line before reaching a five-way intersection with Sicklefield Road, Pickering Street, and Raymont Road. South Pine Road continues northwest, but there is no entry to it from this intersection, forcing traffic to detour via Sicklefield Road (or Pickering Street). Proceeding north and then west on Sicklefield Road returns the traveller to South Pine Road, which continues west in the locality of Enoggera.[1]

Road 1 turns north at an intersection with Western Arterial Road (Wardell Street) (Metroad 5) and Hurdcotte Street as Metroad 5. Next it turns northwest by north, crossing Kedron Brook as it leaves Enoggera and enters Everton Park, where it passes the exit to Everton Park Link Road to the northeast. It then passes the exit to East–West Arterial Road (Stafford Road) (Metroad 5) to the east before turning northwest with no route number. At an intersection with Everton Park–Albany Creek Road (Old Northern Road) it turns west and then continues in a northwesterly direction as State Route 29 until it reaches an intersection with Queens Road (State Route 40). Here it turns west as State Route 40, leaving Everton Park and the City of Brisbane and entering Everton Hills in the City of Moreton Bay.[1]

Continuing west and southwest to an intersectiom with Pimelia Street (State Route 40) to the southwest, the road turns west with no route number. It passes Dawson Parade to the south and, turning northwest and north, passes Plucks Road to the west. It enters Arana Hills and reaches an intersection with Francis Road to the north, where it turns northwest. Reaching a point where the physical road turns to the northwest by west and the name changes to Bunya Road, South Pine Road ends.[1]

The road is a mix of two and four lane sections. It services the residential and commercial centres along its route.[1]

Road 2

[edit]

South Pine Road (Road 2) starts at a point where Albany Creek Road (State Route 28) crosses Albany Creek, the boundary between Bridgeman Downs in the City of Brisbane and Albany Creek in the City of Moreton Bay. It runs northwest and west as Albany Creek Road (State Route 28) until it reaches an intersection with Everton Park–Albany Creek Road (Old Northern Road) to the southeast, where it turns northwest and north as South Pine Road, crossing the South Pine River and running between Eatons Hill and Brendale. It passes the exit to Strathpine–Samford Road (Eatons Crossing Road) to the northwest and continues north. Turning east it enters Brendale, passes the exit to Old North Road to the north, and continues east to an intersection with Linkfield Road to the east. Here it turns north before turning northeast by east, crossing the North Coast railway line, entering Strathpine and meeting Brisbane–Woodford Road (Gympie Road) (State Route 58) at a T-junction, where it ends.[2]

The road is four lanes for its entire length. It services the residential and commercial centres along its route.[2]

History

[edit]

In 1844 the "Samsonvale" pastoral run was established on land south of the North Pine River. By 1847 the run had been reduced to 20 square miles – 12,800 acres (5,200 ha) by resumptions to enable closer settlement. Further resumptions were made in the late 1860s.[7]

The locality of Draper, on the north side of the South Pine River, is named for Jacob Draper, an early settler. He arrived in Queensland in 1861 and settled in the area soon after.[8]

In 1843 the Archer brothers built a road to the north of Brisbane as a shorter way to "Durundur" Station near Woodford. Part of this road remains as Old North Road between Rocksberg on the Caboolture River and Wamuran on the D'Aguilar Highway.[9] It is highly likely that the line of road from Alderley to Petrie, comprising South Pine Road (Road 1),[3] Old Northern Road, South Pine Road (Road 2),[4] Old North Road, and Youngs Crossing Road, follows the earlier road.
