southern suburb of Brisbane, Australia. It was named in 1967 after Sir
Matthew Nathan, Governor of Queensland from 1920 to 1926. Nathan is home
to Toohey Forest Conservation Park, Griffith University's Nathan campus
and the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre which hosted the opening
ceremony of the 1982 Commonwealth Games. The Queensland Academy of Sport
currently uses the facilities located at the stadium. The Mount Gravatt
Cemetery is part of Nathan. It is a culturally diverse suburb, with
nearly 30% more overseas-born residents (27.57%) than the Brisbane
average (21.03%). Although populated by local Aborigines until the
1940s, less than 1% of residents are indigenous Australians today.
