History edit

Thomas Archer was the first European to explore the headwaters of the Burnett River in the 1840s.[6]

Cania pastoral station was established in the 1850s raising sheep until 1883, after which beef and dairy cattle were added.[7]

Gold was discovered in the Cania Gorge in 1870.[8] The gold mining town of Cania was established near Three Moon Creek and gold mining continued there until the early 1920s.[7]

Cania Provisional School opened in 1890. It became Cania State School on 1 January 1909. Due to low attendance numbers, it closed in 1930.[9]

The construction of the Cania Dam across Three Moon Creek in 1982 flooded the former town of Cania. However, headstones from the town's cemetery were relocated to the dam lookout.[10] At low water levels, the tops of some of the town's buildings become visible, which last occurred in 2010.[7]

Demographics edit

In the 2016 census, Cania had a population of 28 people.[11]

In the 2021 census, Cania had a population of 27 people.[3]

Education edit

There are no schools in Cania. The nearest government primary school is Monto State School in Monto to the south-east. The nearest government secondary school is Monto State High School, also in Monto. However, some parts of Cania are too far from Monto for a daily commute, so distance education and boarding school are other options.[5]

Amenities edit

There is boat ramp into the Cania Dam (24°38′52″S 150°58′55″E / 24.6477°S 150.9820°E / -24.6477; 150.9820 (Cania Dam boat ramp)). It is managed by the North Burnett Regional Council.[12]
