Acacia Ridge, a residential and industrial suburb, is 13 km south of central Brisbane. It is positioned either side of Beaudesert Road, which runs southwards along the suburb's predominant ridge line. The name came about from the ridge line and its most common vegetation, the acacia or wattle trees.
Acacia Ridge was originally part of Cowpers (Coopers) Plains, which extended from Oxley Creek to Logan. The Acacia Ridge primary school (1869) was known as Coopers Plains between 1873 and 1956, after which it regained its original name. The school, which opened with an enrolment of 26 pupils, was near Oxley Creek, some way west of the South Coast railway line (1885). The farm lands running further west to Blunder Creek were considered to be in Acacia Ridge, or in part of the district known as 'the Blunder'.
Farming was mixed, and included dairying, poultry and market gardens. Pugh's Post Office directory (1918) recorded a post office (1898), a fuel depot, a butcher, several timber cutters and a sawmill. Thirty years later Acacia Ridge was still rural: pig and poultry farmers (70), fuel depots, baker, blacksmith and two storekeepers.
The Queensland Housing Commission began constructing estates in the suburb in the early 1950s, in some cases using imported Swedish houses. Industrialisation followed, General Motors Holden beginning work on a vehicle-assembly plant in 1964 in the north of the suburb near the railway line. Lysaght opened a steel building-products factory nearby in 1968. By 1966 the primary school had over 1250 pupils.
Acacia Market Place shopping centre opened in 1966, but by this time housing and industry were already moving southwards. The Elizabeth Street shopping centre, Beaudesert Road, and the Watson Road primary school (1967) are in the southern part. New suburbs were named and detached from Acacia Ridge in 1971 - Willawong, Pallara, Larapinta and Heathwood, all west of Oxley Creek. On the east of the creek Algester was detached and named in 1972.
In addition to the State primary schools there are a Catholic primary school (1954) and the Aboriginal and Islander Independent Community School (1986). State secondary education was rather short lived. The high school (1971) merged with neighbouring Salisbury (renamed Nyanda in 1998), and the site was taken by Acacia Ridge primary.
Acacia Ridge's proximity to the interstate railway line was augmented with transmission and marshalling yards attached to the industrial estates east of the railway during the early 1980s. In 1991 the rail freight facility was relocated from Roma Street to Acacia Ridge to facilitate the increasing mechanisation of freight handing. Diversification into warehousing and non-manufacturing began in the 1990s. Colgate Palmolive's factory was sold, and Acacia Business Park (strata title showroom/warehouse complex) was built in 1990. By 2000 most new industries were classified as 'light, quiet industries', although with plenty of transport activity to rail, Archerfield airport and the Gateway and Pacific Motorways. Traffic congestion, however, left Acacia Ridge inferior to sites such as Yatala adjacent to major road transport routes, but enhancement of existing rail links improved the suburbs's economic prospects.
The Oxley Creek flood plain on Acacia Ridge’s western side was extensively flooded in January 2011, but most built-up areas were missed. A notable exception not missed was part of the industrial area south of the Archerfield airport.
A pre-feasibility study began in 2013 regarding a proposed underground tunnel linking Acacia Ridge and the Port of Brisbane to accommodate the forecast 7 million annual truck journeys on that route by 2025, with both major federal parties also supporting an inland rail route.

Roma è un ente speciale italiano di 2.748.809 abitanti, capoluogo della provincia di Roma, della regione Lazio e capitale della Repubblica Italiana.
È il comune più popoloso e più esteso d'Italia ed è il primo comune europeo per grandezza del territorio; per antonomasia, è definita l'Urbe e la Città eterna.
Nel corso della sua trimillenaria storia, è stata la prima grande metropoli dell'umanità[10], cuore di una delle più importanti civiltà antiche, che influenzò la società, la cultura, la lingua, la letteratura, l'arte, l'architettura, la filosofia, la religione, il diritto, i costumi dei secoli successivi; fu capitale dell'Impero romano, che estendeva il suo dominio su tutto il bacino del Mediterraneo e gran parte dell'Europa, e dello Stato Pontificio, sottoposto al potere temporale dei Papi.
È la città con la più alta concentrazione di beni storici e architettonici al mondo; il suo centro storico delimitato dal perimetro delle mura aureliane, sovrapposizione di testimonianze di quasi tre millenni, è espressione del patrimonio storico, artistico e culturale del mondo occidentale europeo e, nel 1980, insieme alle proprietà extraterritoriali della Santa Sede nella città e la basilica di San Paolo fuori le mura, è stato inserito nella lista dei Patrimoni dell'umanità dell'UNESCO.
Roma, cuore della cristianità cattolica, è l'unica città al mondo ad ospitare al proprio interno uno stato straniero, l'enclave della Città del Vaticano: per tale motivo è spesso definita capitale di due Stati.
Roma é a capital da Itália e sede da comuna e da província com o mesmo nome, na região do Lácio. Conhecida internacionalmente como A Cidade Eterna pela sua história milenar, Roma espalha-se pelas margens rio Tibre, compreendendo o seu centro histórico com as suas sete colinas: Palatino, Aventino, Campidoglio, Quirinale, Viminale, Esquilino, e Celio. Segundo o mito romano, a cidade foi fundada a cerca de 753 a.C.. (data convencionada) por Rómulo e Remo, dois irmãos criados por uma loba, que são actualmente símbolos da cidade. Desde então tornou-se no centro da Roma Antiga (Reino de Roma, República Romana, Império Romano) e, mais tarde, dos Estados Pontifícios, Reino de Itália e, por fim, da República Italiana.
No interior da cidade encontra-se o estado do Vaticano, residência do Papa. É uma das cidades com maior importância na História mundial, sendo um dos símbolos da civilização europeia.[3] Conserva inúmeras ruínas e monumentos na parte antiga da cidade, especialmente da época do Império Romano, e do Renascimento, o movimento cultural que nasceu na Itália.
A área metropolitana tem cerca de 2 546 804 habitantes (2001), e estende-se por uma área de 1285 km², tendo uma densidade populacional de 1981 hab/km², o que a torna na maior cidade da Itália e também na capital européia de maiores dimensões. O presidente da câmara (Sindaco) em 2008 é Gianni Alemanno.
Rome (English Italian: Roma, is the capital of Italy and the country's largest and most populated city and comune, with over 2.7 million residents in 1,285.3 km2 (496.3 sq mi). The population of the urban area was estimated by Eurostat to be 3.46 million in 2004, The metropolitan area was estimated by OECD to have a population of 3.7 million in 2006.
The city of Rome is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, on the Tiber river within the Lazio region of Italy. Rome's history spans over two and a half thousand years. It was the capital city of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, which was the dominant Power in Western Europe and the lands bordering the Mediterranean Sea for over seven hundred years from the 1st Century BC until the 7th Century AD. Since the 2nd Century AD Rome has been the seat of the Papacy and, after the end of Byzantine domination, in the 8th century it became the capital of the Papal States, which lasted until 1870. In 1871 Rome became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, and in 1946 that of the Italian Republic. Since 1929 it is also the site of the Vatican City, an independent city-state presided over by the Pope.
After the Middle-Ages, Rome was ruled by popes such as Alexander VI and Leo X, who transformed the city into one of the major centers of the Italian Renaissance, along with Florence. The current-day version of St Peter's Basilica was built and the Sistine Chapel was painted by Michelangelo. Famous artists and architects, such as Bramante, Bernini and Raphael resided for some time in Rome, contributing to its Renaissance and Baroque architecture.
Rome's influence on western Civilisation can hardly be overestimated, and the city is still recognised as a centre of the arts and education. Due to this centrality on many levels, and much of the city's past and present power and influence, Rome has been nicknamed "Caput Mundi" (Latin for "Capital of the World") and "The Eternal City". The city is, in addition, an important centre of pilgrimage in the Christian, notably the Roman Catholic Church,[12] and St Peter's Basilica, found in the Holy See, is often called "the greatest of all churches of Christendom". Rome's architectural and archaeological sites, and its rich artistic and historical heritage, contribute to its historical centre being inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its global influence in politics, literature, high culture, the arts, music, religion, education, fashion, cinema and cuisine lead it to being considered an Alpha- world city, according to Loughborough University and GaWC in 2008. Rome is also a hub of the cinematic and filming industry; for example, the Cinecittà Studios, Europe's biggest which saw the filming of several internationally acclaimed movies as well as television programmes, are located in the city.
Since the 1957 Treaty of Rome establishing the European Economic Community, the metropolis has served as a centre for international co-operative activities, with worldwide organizations such as World Food Programme (WFP), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the NATO Defence College being headquartered in the city. Rome is regarded as being one of the nation's principle centres of business, media and finance, along with Milan. The Rome metropolitan area has a GDP of €109.4 billion (US$ 149.14), and according to a 2008 study, the city is the world's 35th richest city by purchasing power, with a GDP of €94.376 billion (US$ 121.5 billion). Rome is also the world's 26th most expensive city (in 2010), and is the richest in Italy in terms of total earnings and 30th globally. The city has been recognized, by different studies, to be a leading European business and economic centre.
The city hosted the 1960 Olympic Games, and is also an official candidate for the 2020 edition of this event
In 2007 Rome was the 11th-most-visited city in the world, 3rd most visited in the EU, and the most popular tourist attraction in Italy. The city is one of Europe's and the world's most successful city brands, both in terms of reputation and assets. Its historic centre is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Monuments and museums such as the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum are amongst the world's 50 most visited tourist destinations (the Vatican Museums receiving 4.2 million tourists and the Colosseum receiving 4 million tourists every year).

Roma è un ente speciale italiano di 2.748.809 abitanti, capoluogo della provincia di Roma, della regione Lazio e capitale della Repubblica Italiana.
È il comune più popoloso e più esteso d'Italia ed è il primo comune europeo per grandezza del territorio; per antonomasia, è definita l'Urbe e la Città eterna.
Nel corso della sua trimillenaria storia, è stata la prima grande metropoli dell'umanità[10], cuore di una delle più importanti civiltà antiche, che influenzò la società, la cultura, la lingua, la letteratura, l'arte, l'architettura, la filosofia, la religione, il diritto, i costumi dei secoli successivi; fu capitale dell'Impero romano, che estendeva il suo dominio su tutto il bacino del Mediterraneo e gran parte dell'Europa, e dello Stato Pontificio, sottoposto al potere temporale dei Papi.
È la città con la più alta concentrazione di beni storici e architettonici al mondo; il suo centro storico delimitato dal perimetro delle mura aureliane, sovrapposizione di testimonianze di quasi tre millenni, è espressione del patrimonio storico, artistico e culturale del mondo occidentale europeo e, nel 1980, insieme alle proprietà extraterritoriali della Santa Sede nella città e la basilica di San Paolo fuori le mura, è stato inserito nella lista dei Patrimoni dell'umanità dell'UNESCO.
Roma, cuore della cristianità cattolica, è l'unica città al mondo ad ospitare al proprio interno uno stato straniero, l'enclave della Città del Vaticano: per tale motivo è spesso definita capitale di due Stati.
Roma é a capital da Itália e sede da comuna e da província com o mesmo nome, na região do Lácio. Conhecida internacionalmente como A Cidade Eterna pela sua história milenar, Roma espalha-se pelas margens rio Tibre, compreendendo o seu centro histórico com as suas sete colinas: Palatino, Aventino, Campidoglio, Quirinale, Viminale, Esquilino, e Celio. Segundo o mito romano, a cidade foi fundada a cerca de 753 a.C.. (data convencionada) por Rómulo e Remo, dois irmãos criados por uma loba, que são actualmente símbolos da cidade. Desde então tornou-se no centro da Roma Antiga (Reino de Roma, República Romana, Império Romano) e, mais tarde, dos Estados Pontifícios, Reino de Itália e, por fim, da República Italiana.
No interior da cidade encontra-se o estado do Vaticano, residência do Papa. É uma das cidades com maior importância na História mundial, sendo um dos símbolos da civilização europeia.[3] Conserva inúmeras ruínas e monumentos na parte antiga da cidade, especialmente da época do Império Romano, e do Renascimento, o movimento cultural que nasceu na Itália.
A área metropolitana tem cerca de 2 546 804 habitantes (2001), e estende-se por uma área de 1285 km², tendo uma densidade populacional de 1981 hab/km², o que a torna na maior cidade da Itália e também na capital européia de maiores dimensões. O presidente da câmara (Sindaco) em 2008 é Gianni Alemanno.
Rome (English Italian: Roma, is the capital of Italy and the country's largest and most populated city and comune, with over 2.7 million residents in 1,285.3 km2 (496.3 sq mi). The population of the urban area was estimated by Eurostat to be 3.46 million in 2004, The metropolitan area was estimated by OECD to have a population of 3.7 million in 2006.
The city of Rome is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, on the Tiber river within the Lazio region of Italy. Rome's history spans over two and a half thousand years. It was the capital city of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, which was the dominant Power in Western Europe and the lands bordering the Mediterranean Sea for over seven hundred years from the 1st Century BC until the 7th Century AD. Since the 2nd Century AD Rome has been the seat of the Papacy and, after the end of Byzantine domination, in the 8th century it became the capital of the Papal States, which lasted until 1870. In 1871 Rome became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, and in 1946 that of the Italian Republic. Since 1929 it is also the site of the Vatican City, an independent city-state presided over by the Pope.
After the Middle-Ages, Rome was ruled by popes such as Alexander VI and Leo X, who transformed the city into one of the major centers of the Italian Renaissance, along with Florence. The current-day version of St Peter's Basilica was built and the Sistine Chapel was painted by Michelangelo. Famous artists and architects, such as Bramante, Bernini and Raphael resided for some time in Rome, contributing to its Renaissance and Baroque architecture.
Rome's influence on western Civilisation can hardly be overestimated, and the city is still recognised as a centre of the arts and education. Due to this centrality on many levels, and much of the city's past and present power and influence, Rome has been nicknamed "Caput Mundi" (Latin for "Capital of the World") and "The Eternal City". The city is, in addition, an important centre of pilgrimage in the Christian, notably the Roman Catholic Church,[12] and St Peter's Basilica, found in the Holy See, is often called "the greatest of all churches of Christendom". Rome's architectural and archaeological sites, and its rich artistic and historical heritage, contribute to its historical centre being inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its global influence in politics, literature, high culture, the arts, music, religion, education, fashion, cinema and cuisine lead it to being considered an Alpha- world city, according to Loughborough University and GaWC in 2008. Rome is also a hub of the cinematic and filming industry; for example, the Cinecittà Studios, Europe's biggest which saw the filming of several internationally acclaimed movies as well as television programmes, are located in the city.
Since the 1957 Treaty of Rome establishing the European Economic Community, the metropolis has served as a centre for international co-operative activities, with worldwide organizations such as World Food Programme (WFP), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the NATO Defence College being headquartered in the city. Rome is regarded as being one of the nation's principle centres of business, media and finance, along with Milan. The Rome metropolitan area has a GDP of €109.4 billion (US$ 149.14), and according to a 2008 study, the city is the world's 35th richest city by purchasing power, with a GDP of €94.376 billion (US$ 121.5 billion). Rome is also the world's 26th most expensive city (in 2010), and is the richest in Italy in terms of total earnings and 30th globally.
