Duingal is a locality in the Bundaberg Region, Queensland, Australia.^[2] In the 2021 census, Duingal had a population of 70 people.^[1]

Geography

The Burnett River forms the northern boundary of the suburb.^[3]

The east of the locality is within the protected areas of Cordalba National Park and Cordalba State Forest. A section of the Booyal State Forest is in the south-west of the locality.^[3]

Elevations near the river are approximately 30 metres (98 ft) above sea level and most of the developed land (sugar cane farms) is in this area. The rest of the locality is more mountainous rising to unnamed peaks of 140 metres (460 ft). Duingal Creek flows from south (Booyal) to north through the locality where it becomes a tributary of the Burnett River.^[3]

The Bruce Highway enters from Booyal to the south and traverses the south-west of the locality and then crosses the Burnett River into Wallaville.^[3]

The Isis Central sugar mill operates a cane tramway through the locality for transporting the harvested sugarcane to the mill in Isis Central to the south-east.^[3]

Marule Mine is in the south-east of locality within the Cordalba State Forest (25°08′35″S 152°05′10″E / 25.1430°S 152.0860°E / -25.1430; 152.0860 (MARULE MINE)).^[4] They extract agricultural lime and other minerals used to improve soil quality.^[5]

History

The locality presumably takes its name from the Duingal Creek, which in turn was named by Lewis H. Maynard and is believed to an Aboriginal word, either dewingal or tewingal meaning scrub iron bark from which spears were made.^[6]^[7]

Duingal Provisional School opened circa 1896. It became Duingal State School on 1 January 1909. It closed temporarily in 1909 and 1911 due to low student numbers and finally closed late 1913 or early 1914.^[8]
