Ballandean is a rural town and locality in the Southern Downs Region, Queensland, Australia.

Thomas Henry Fletcher built the Britannia Inn in the same year which attracted other businesses to the area.

[13] Ballandean State School opened on 18 January 1909 under head teacher Frances Emily Wallace.

[17][5] St Oswald's Anglican Church was dedicated on 1 March 1926 by Archbishop Gerald Sharp.

[25] The man-made Ballandean Pyramid was constructed by Ken Stubberfield as a way to dispose of excess granite on his farm and is an unusual sight in Queensland.

[26] The Balladean railway station is a well-known landmark on the New England Highway due to the big dinosaur in front of it, nicknamed the Fruitisforus (Fruit-is-for-us).

It proved so popular that it was reinforced with fibregrass and painted and made a permanent roadside feature.
