History
Logging began in the Nambour district in 1862. By 1870 a permanent European settlement, known as Petrie's Creek, had been established. In 1891, the North Coast railway to Brisbane was completed, and at its opening Petrie's Creek was renamed Nambour, after the "Nambah" cattle station, which was established in 1868.In 1862 the Bli Bli area was part of the Moolooloo Plains grazing lease. The beginnings of a town on part of that lease were in evidence by 1868, and the district was almost fully settled by the late 1880s.
