Geography
The suburb is bounded to the north by Mulgrave Street (one of the major thoroughfares through Cairns connecting the Bruce Highway from the south to the Captain Cook Highway to the north) and by Hartley Street to the south. The suburb is almost entirely freehold and has a mixture of residential and commercial areas with no green space or other civic amenities.[3]
History
The suburb name comes from "The Bungalow", the residence of Archdeacon Joseph Campbell, a clergyman and agricultural entrepreneur.[2]
