Ithaca, Queensland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name of the suburb is believed to have been bestowed by Sir George Ferguson Bowen, Governor of Queensland (1859–1867), after the Ionian Island of Ithaca, the subject of a book he had authored.[1]
Geography
Traditionally, Ithaca was bound by Jubilee Terrace to the west, Ithaca Creek to the north, the suburb of Red Hill to the east and the suburb of Paddington to the south. Therefore, despite the official designation as being part of Red Hill, the former suburb of Ithaca appears to span the present suburbs of Red Hill, Paddington and Bardon.
