About Wulkuraka
Wulkuraka is a western suburb of Ipswich in the City of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia, located six kilometres from the CBD. Its name derives from the Ugarapul Aboriginal language, meaning 'red flowering gum tree' or 'plenty of kookaburras'. Historically a railway junction where the Brisbane Valley line branched from the Main Line, it is home to the Wulkuraka Maintenance Centre for Queensland Rail and serves as the eastern endpoint of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail.
