The suburb is located 9 kilometres south of the city. The west of the suburb is bordered by the Oxley Creek. The suburb's name is derived from the Rocky Waterholes in the area. It is also at one end of the Ipswich Motorway and has a train station on the Beenleigh line. Ipswich Road continues north from the Ipswich Motorway, through Moorooka and into the Brisbane central business district. Rocklea is a mostly industrial suburb, being the home to many large firms from a range industries. The suburb has a school, Rocklea State School, which was opened in 1885.[3] At the 2011 Australian Census Rocklea had a population of 1,255.[3] HistoryThe locality was originally called Rocky Water Holes. It was renamed Rocklea with the opening of the railway.[4] In January 1925 work commenced on the Sydney–Brisbane rail corridor.[5] The suburbs was once the centre of the Shire of Yeerongpilly which was established in 1879 and disbanded in 1925 after the City of Brisbane was created. In 1949, Commonwealth Engineering established a railway factory in Rocklea.[6] On 31 July 2009 the last race was held at the Rocklea horse harness racing track.

The current markets were established in 1964.[7] The opening of the markets occurred on 31 August and was attended by the then Premier of Queensland, Frank Nicklin.[8] The markets occupy a 100 hectare site. The first market in the area opened in 1866 and then closed in 1881.[9] Roma Street Markets closer to the city were operational for a number of decades until congestion forced a move for the markets back to the suburbs in the 1960s. IndustryThe suburb is predominately zoned for industrial land uses. Many of the companies situated in Rocklea are part of the transport sector, with the proximity to Archerfield Airport being a drawcard. The Rocklea Works of English Electric built diesel-electric locomotives for several operators including the Queensland Railways 1600 class and successor classes. DuluxGroup's main paint manufacturing facility is located in the suburb.[10] FloodingRocklea is one of Brisbane's most flood affected suburbs. Severe damage was experienced in both the 1974 Brisbane flood and 2010–2011 Queensland floods. Flooding in Rocklea is particularly harmful to the coastal ecosystem because of the oil and other toxic chemicals which are washed downstream.[11] The effect of flooding on the Brisbane Markets was minor in 1974 but since then the site has grown five times and in 2011 35 buildings were inundated.[9] After the 2011 flood, home and land values in the suburb decreased dramatically. The median house price decreased by 23.9%.[12] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Moorooka Ward|url=https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/about-council/governance-strategy/councillors-wards/moorooka-ward|website=Brisbane City Council|publisher=Brisbane City Council|accessdate=12 March 2017}} 2. ^{{Census 2016 AUS|id=SSC32474|name=Rocklea (Qld) (State Suburb)|accessdate=13 April 2018|quick=on}} 3. ^1 {{Census 2011 AUS|id=SSC31416 |name=Rocklea (State Suburb)|quick=on|accessdate=22 September 2012}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article38503437|title=NOMENCLATURE OF QUEENSLAND— 252|publisher=The Courier-Mail|page=12|date=21 July 1936}} 5. ^{{cite book |title=Logan : rich in history, young in spirit |last=Buchanan |first=Robyn |year=1999 |publisher=Logan City Council |page=75 |url=http://www.logan.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/7325/richinhistory-kingcotton.pdf |accessdate=6 December 2015}} 6. ^{{cite book |title=Comeng 1: 1921 to 1955 - Volume 1 of Comeng: A History of Commonwealth Engineering |last=Dunn |first=John C. |year=2006 |publisher=Rosenberg Publishing |isbn=1877058424 |page=297 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yJXEiRvswoIC |accessdate=10 May 2014}} 7. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.ourbrisbane.com/suburbs/rocklea |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080619092451/http://www.ourbrisbane.com/suburbs/rocklea |dead-url=yes |archive-date=19 June 2008 |title=Rocklea |work=ourbrisbane.com via the Wayback Machine |publisher=Brisbane City Council |date=10 April 2010 |accessdate=20 March 2011 |df=dmy-all }} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.brisbanemarkets.com.au/cms/bml-history.html |title=Brisbane Markets Limited: History |publisher=Brisbane Markets Limited |accessdate=20 March 2011 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110218053619/http://www.brisbanemarkets.com.au/cms/bml-history.html |archivedate=18 February 2011 |df=dmy }} 9. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.brisbanemarkets.com.au/corporate-information/history/ |title=History |publisher=Brisbane Markets |accessdate=22 September 2012 }} 10. ^{{Cite news |url=http://www.smh.com.au/business/dulux-says-rocklea-still-out-of-action-20110120-19x1t.html?skin=text-only |title=Dulux says Rocklea still out of action |author= |accessdate=22 September 2012 |date=20 January 2011 |newspaper=Sydney Morning Herald |publisher=Fairfax Media }} 11. ^{{Cite news |url=http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/environment/weather/rocklea-devastation-a-double-blow-20110114-19r6w.html |title=Rocklea devastation a double blow |author=Sean Baumgart |accessdate=22 September 2012 |date=15 January 2011 |work=Brisbane Times |publisher=Fairfax Media }} 12. ^{{Cite news |url=http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/queensland-property/frankly-property-isnt-dear-because-noone-promised-a-dam-20120111-1pv1m.html |title=Frankly, property isn't dear because no-one promised a dam |author=Bridie Jabour |accessdate=22 September 2012 |date=11 January 2011 |work=Brisbane Times |publisher=Fairfax Media }} External links{{Commons category}}
