Why the Second Range Crossing?

 Multuggerah has a direct relationship with the second range crossing.  Historian Dr Ray Kerkhove believes he was probably one of the guides for Ltnt Gorman’s exploration near the proposed route.  Many of Australia’s main roads follow ancient pathways, and the route traversed by the highway was certainly a major pathway and homeland for Multuggerah’s people.  In 2016 from over 14000 street and road names in the Toowoomba region there is not one named after an Aboriginal person.  We think that naming the second range crossing after Multuggerah would be a fitting tribute for  local warrior and a way of improving our understanding of shared history.
