Caboonbah Undenominational Church

It was founded by Henry Plantagenet Somerset,[1] and built by Lars Andersen in 1905 to serve a farming community at Mount Beppo.

The Church celebrated its Golden Jubilee with a crowd of 250 sharing luncheon under tarpaulins and its honoured guests on that occasion were Dr. Don Cameron, M.H.R., Mr. Alec Skinner, M.L.A.

Instead it was decided to entrust a local committee with the maintenance of the church precinct and to hold an annual ecumenical service on the second Saturday in November.

On 5 November 2005, the Caboonbah Church celebrated its centenary[5] with an ecumenical service at which Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane Phillip Aspinall gave the occasional address.

Ten years later there is a more comprehensive report[7] of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations with another photo of the shingled roof that was replaced with iron immediately afterwards.

It finishes with the sentence: “The Caboonbah church is set on a hill and looking towards the mountains from all directions the scene is one of tranquillity and unsurpassed beauty, especially when the sun changes the mountain colours to various shades of blue, green and gold.” Since that time its beauty has been enhanced by the establishment of an olive grove beside its boundary fence so that the first sight of Caboonbah Church by road from Toogoolawah is its tall, white spire rising above the perpetual green of the olive trees.
