Rosalie is a former suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Since 1975, it has been an official neighbourhood within the suburb of Paddington.[2]
The name Rosalie is probably derived from the Rosalie Plains pastoral station leased by John Frederick McDougall, who also owned land in the Milton and Rosalie areas of Brisbane.[2]
On Sunday 5 April 1884, a Baptist church opened in Rosalie, being described as a "neat little chapel" and was 20 by 20 feet (6.1 by 6.1 m).[3][4][5] On Saturday 7 November 1925, a new Baptist church was opened.[3][6][7]
Rosalie was subject to flooding in the 1890 Brisbane floods.[8]
The lower parts of Rosalie were inundated in the 2011 Brisbane Floods.[9]
