History of Mount Crosby The Jagera Aboriginal people inhabited Mount Crosby. They also had a ceremonial ground on the slopes of Mount Elphinstone and Bellbowrie. In 1824, John Oxley explored the Brisbane River and climbed the mountain with his fellow Lieutenant Butler. The mountain they climbed is now known as Mount Crosby, but it was named Belle Vue Mountain earlier. In the same year, Allan Cunningham explored the Brisbane River’s shallow part, which is now the locality of Mount Crosby. In 1882, the Crosby postal receiving office opened, and it was renamed Mount Crosby receiving office in 1917.
