Hi all, Apologies if this is really off the intended list topic, but I've been curious about the "Mile" references in a number of places in Brisbane. Gaylene mentions "17 Mile Rocks", I have ancestors who lived in the Brisbane area at "1 Mile Swamp" and another family at "4 Mile Swamp". Can anyone enlighten me on where they were measuring the miles from?
