Geography

Toobeah is in the Darling Downs region. The town is on the Barwon Highway, 389 kilometres (242 mi) south west of the state capital, Brisbane.

History

The town takes its name from the Toobeah railway station on the South Western railway line, which was established in 1910. The name is believed to be an Aboriginal word indicating to point, possibly because of the presence of a sign post at the road junction where the railway station was built.^[3]

Toobeah Provisional School opened on 12 October 1914. On 1 December 1914 it became Toobeah State School. It closed on 30 April 1964.^[5] It was on the northern corner of the Barwon Highway and Minnel Road (approx 28°24′53″S 149°52′19″E / 28.41471°S 149.87191°E / -28.41471; 149.87191 (Toobeah State School (former))).^[6]^[7]
