Pallarenda
DESCRIPTION
NamePallarendaDescriptionTownsville Suburb: The suburb takes its name from Cape Pallarenda, named in 1864 by Lieutenant G.P. Heath, during his survey of Cleveland Bay. As James Morrill was aboard the Flora during the survey and advised Heath on other Aboriginal place names, it is presumed that Pallarenda is an Aboriginal name. Its meaning is not known. In his Language of the Townsville Area, written in 1885, Charles Price gave the following three local Aboriginal names for Cape Pallarenda/Marlow, Ca-am-bil, Ki-roon-da and Wa-re-gun-da.
