Very little is known about the original convict-Limestone road, however, it is the first non-indigenous pathway on the Brisbane Southside. New evidence in the pathway of the original Limestone-Brisbane road comes from the Stapylton survey map of October 1839. It didn’t followed the ridge line (as once assumed), but rather skirted over to Norman Creek, and only joining the rise at what is now the Chardons Corner end of Annerley.
