== History == The origin of the name ''Bundamba'' is from the Ugarapul language meaning ''place of the stone axe''. It was initially written as ''Bundumba'', then ''Bundanba'', and then on 30 January 1932, the name was officially standardised as ''Bundamba''.<ref name="qpnl" />

The name ''Bergins'' may refer to either Denis Bergin or Thomas Bergin. Denis Bergin was the publican of the Prince Alfred Hotel at Bundamba; he was also a prospector and the Bergin coal seam is named after him. Thomas Bergin was a bailiff who lived in the area.<ref name=":0" />
