Nambour is a town and locality in South East Queensland, Australia, 101 kilometres (63 mi) north of the state capital, Brisbane. The town lies in the sub-tropical hinterland of the Sunshine Coast at the foot of the Blackall Range and has a population of 10,221. It was the administrative centre and capital of the Maroochy Shire and is now the administrative centre of the Sunshine Coast Region. The greater Nambour region includes surrounding suburbs such as Burnside, Coes Creek, and Perwillowen, and has an estimated population of 15,550.
The name is derived from the Aboriginal word "naamba", referring to the red-flowering bottle brush Callistemon viminalis.
The area now known as Nambour, was first settled in 1870. The town was then called Petrie's Creek. In 1890 the Maroochy Divisional Board was established. In 1891, the rail link with Brisbane was completed, and at its opening Petrie's Creek was renamed "Nambour", after the Nambour cattle station. A fire in 1924 destroyed many of the timber buildings along the main street.
It's getting warm,
The night is young but you walk alone once again
See the sights, familiar faces seem to walk on by
Hand in hand
I think of you what you would look like in
discovereing truth and, how I feel
Could this be true
Cause I've been thinking about you, about you
I thought I saw you in the summer sky
You looked at me and I saw the stars in your eyes
I thought I heard you, was I out of line?
Or is this love, and maybe we'll find our light
So step aside, was this a feeling
When she walked on by, did I fail to see?
It makes sense, my heart dreams because I dream of
And I dream of what could be
I thought I saw u in the summer sky
You looked at me and I saw the stars in your eyes
I thought i heard you, was I out of line?
Or is this love, and maybe we'll find our light
Maybe we'll find our light.
So here I go, my hands are shaking as I walk so slow to
Is this the end? Or just beginning?
So special my friend, it's me and you
Me and you
I thought I saw you in the summer sky
You looked at me and I saw the stars in your eyes
I thought i heard you, was I out of line?
Or is this love, and maybe we'll find our light
Maybe we'll find our light
