Geography
editKagaru's eastern border is marked by the Sydney–Brisbane rail corridor, the Logan River and Teviot Brook. There is very little development in the area.
History
editIn the 1930s, a railway station in the area was named Kagaru, a Ugarapul word for the blue-winged kookaburra. On the 24 April 1997, the locality was formally bounded and took the name of the railway station.[4] Formerly in the Shire of Beaudesert, Kagaru became split between Logan City and Scenic Rim Region following the local government amalgamations in March 2008.[4] The railway station no longer exists.[4]
