The original wetlands were extensive, and through them ran the Gin House, Boobegan and Mudgeeraba Creeks. The whole area was acquired by Thomas Stephens in , after his career which included a term as the Mayor of Brisbane , a Queensland parliamentarian and the proprietor of a fellmongery on the Ekibin creek, Tarragindi.
Stephens used the area for grazing, and improved the pasture areas by building drains. His wife reputedly named the locality Merrimac.
When the Stephens family's area was subdivided for farming in the early twentieth century it was used for dairying and banana growing. The name Carrara appears to have prevailed over Merrimac in early directories, but dairying was centred around a milk storage and distribution centre at Merrimac.
The Merrimac primary school was opened in Queensland Archives record a Carrara primary school, c Residential development began in the early s in the north of Carrara, with a small golf course since enlarged as the Emerald Lakes golf club , playing fields between the Nerang-Broadbeach Road and the river, and an airstrip with a motor racing circuit. My advice? Do not buy in Merrimac, it is close and handy but a dreadful and unsafe place to live. Since being burgled I have nightmares and it happens every Friday and Saturday night almost.
Beware, now you know the awful truth. Sunland is currently developing 74 units on Bourton Road, showing signs of more developments in the area. Radisson Resort on Gooding Drive, more eateries, Gym etc. Other streets in Merrimac have great views of the Gold Coast. I am looking forward to more developments and exciting changes in the area. Merrimac is a dangerous ghetto.
I should know because I live here. In fear if being robbed in your own home while you are asleep. The victims are often asleep in the same room where the crims prowl. What happens if you happen to wake up? Who knows. Only the gangs if criminal thieves really can answer what type of weapons they carry. I own a two bedroom apartment at 8 Gooding Drive and once you have lived in this area you will know that it is the best place if you need to get anywhere on the Gold Coast fast It is directly off the motor way which can really be a turn off for some with the noise, but you also realize that the noise isn't as bad as you would think.
Then once you figure our that you are only a 10 minutes drive to the beach in good traffic as Gooding Drive is now super streamline!!! I love it there. Warongary shopping village is just over the motor way too which has an amazing Thai Restaurant!!! Also, 3 minutes east will get you to medical clinics, vets, schools and fuel stations. Not to mention that Red Rooster and Zarraffas has just opened up in Worangary shopping village!!!
So all in all, Merrimac is an awesome place for young students and families!!! Especially Tudor Rose Apartments Thanks for reading and I hope you get a chance to live in Merrimac!!
