Geography

History
[edit | edit source]The locality takes its name from the parish, which is presumed to take its name from the pastoral run, which in turn is an Aboriginal word, meaning dead European man.[2][3]
The first 65 kilometre section of the Mount Perry railway line from North Bundaberg railway station (originally called Bundaberg station) to Moolboolaman railway station was opened on 19 July 1881.[4]
In 1887, 32,000 acres (13,000 ha) of land were resumed from the Moolboolaman pastoral run. The land was offered for selection for the establishment of small farms on 17 April 1887.[5]
Moolboolaman Provisional School opened circa 1892 and closed in 1902 due to low student numbers. It reopened in 1908 and on 1 January 1909 became Mooolboolaman State School.There was a temporary closure in 1910 and again in 1929–1930. In 1957, the school closed permanently.[6] It was located immediately north of the Moolboolaman railway station on the Gin Gin Mount Perry Road (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.).[7][8]
Dalysford Provisional opened circa 1892. On 1 January 1909, it became Dalysford State School. It closed temporarily between late 1924 to circa April 1925 due to low student numbers. It closed permanently in 1927.[9] It was located to the south-west of Dalysford railway station, off the Dalysford Road (approx Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.).
