The Woolloongabba Fiveways was Australia’s most unusual traffic hub with the railway line of the South Brisbane Wharve-Woolloongabba railyard running along Stanley Street and across Logan Road and onto what was once called South Brisbane Junction (Corinda). Complicating matters in the twentieth century was Stanley Street, one of Brisbane’s longest street and accessing the eastern suburbs, and with the opening of the Story Bridge, the passageway of Logan-Mains Roads was the main north-south access way through the inner city.
