Bullyard

Download coordinates as: Bullyard is a small rural town and locality in Bundaberg Region, Queensland, Australia.

It is a small community made up mostly of sugar cane growers, livestock & fruit and vegetable farmers.

[5] The town of Bullyard was developed primarily as a cane farming district in the late nineteenth century.

[6] On 29 November 1992, nearby Bucca was hit by the most violent tornado ever observed in Australia, rated F4 on the Fujita scale.

Being only 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) away, Bullyard residents felt the brunt of the weather that came with the twister, reporting torrential rain and giant hailstones, described as the size of a "cricket ball".

Across the region trees toppled in the unprecedented winds and many residents experienced roofing issues during this time.

[9][10] The School's emblem has three parts, a bull, a cane tractor and a book with the motto "Freedom Through Knowledge" .Children are bused in from surrounding towns including Bucca, McIlwraith and Goondoon areas.

Newspaper references from the 1930s through to the 1950s indicate the hall being used as a venue to sign up workers for the local cane crushing season.

Most of the fenced, predominantly levelled grassed site has been cleared, some remaining scrub vegetation exists in the north and northeast and on the boundaries and it appears that the ring of trees on the perimeter of the sports ground have been deliberately planted.
