Geography edit

The Cunningham Highway and South Western railway line pass through the locality from east (Oman Ama) to west (Inglewood).[3] The locality is served by the Cobba-Da-Mana railway station (28°24′28″S 151°13′25″E / 28.4077°S 151.2236°E / -28.4077; 151.2236 (Cobba-Da-Mana railway station)).[4]

Coolmunda includes the neighbourhood of Cobba-Da-Mana around the Cobba-Da-Mana railway station.[5][6]

To the south of the highway and railway, Lake Coolmunda is a reservoir (28°27′00″S 151°14′00″E / 28.45°S 151.2333°E / -28.45; 151.2333 (Lake Coolmunda))[7] created by Coolmunda Dam (28°26′13″S 151°13′03″E / 28.4369°S 151.2175°E / -28.4369; 151.2175 (Coolmunda Dam)) impounding the Macintrye Brook.[8] It has a capacity of 69,000 megalitres (2,400×10^6 cu ft).[9]

The Coolmunda Conservation Park (28°27′34″S 151°12′29″E / 28.4594°S 151.2080°E / -28.4594; 151.2080 (Coolmunda Conservation Park)) is to the south-west of the lake.[10] The park seeks to protect the endangered Leucopogon sp (Coolmunda D.Halford Q1635) and the vulnerable Eucalyptus virens (shiny-leaved ironbark).[11]

The land use is a mixture of dry and irrigated cropping and grazing on native vegetation.[3]

History edit

The name Coolmunda is thought to be an Aboriginal word, meaning a stream with a sandy bed.[2]

Coolmunda Provisional School opened 20 October 1883 but closed on 27 March 1885. It reopened in about March 1900 and became Coolmunda State School from 1 January 1909. In 1914 the school's name was changed to Waroo Road State School. The school closed in 1922, but reopened again in 1923 as a half-time school sharing a teacher with the Greenup Provisional School, but closed again in 1927. It recommenced in 1929 as a part-time school sharing a teacher with Greenup and Brush Creek Provisional School, closing in 1930.[12] It was located to the south of the Cunningham Highway where the highway and railway line diverge (28°24′57″S 151°09′48″E / 28.4157°S 151.1634°E / -28.4157; 151.1634 (Coolmunda State School)).[13]

In May 1912 the Queensland Government auctioned 26 town allotments in the Town of Cobba-Da-Mana.[14]

The South Western railway opened from Thane to Inglewood on 8 July 1907, with the locality being served by the now-abandoned Coolmunda railway station (28°24′53″S 151°08′53″E / 28.4148°S 151.1481°E / -28.4148; 151.1481 (Coolmunda railway station)) and Cobba-Da-Mana railway station.[4][6][15]

Nanny Creek Provisional School opened on 1911 and closed on circa 1913.[12]

Cobba-Da-Mana State School opened on 22 January 1912 and closed in 1965.[12] It was just south-west of the Cobba-Da-Mana railway station, approximately 28°24′27″S 151°13′11″E / 28.4076°S 151.21960°E / -28.4076; 151.21960 (Cobba-Da-Mana State School).[16]

On 15 August 1932 a new Coolmunda State School was established which operated until 1943.[12]

In the 2016 census, Coolmunda had a population of 141 people.[1]
