The creek that gave its name to the district is
part of the Logan River catchment and was
named after the Slack family who had a cattle
run there before the days of closer settlement.
The Aboriginal name for it was Mungaree, place
of fishes, which is the name they gave to their
property. In September 2006 Queensland's

the nearby suburb Rochedale South to its new
location in Slacks Creek. IKEA Logan is now the
