[2][3][11] The first meeting of the former local government area of Shire of Rosalie was held on 17 February 1879.

[13] Local residents requested a school on 31 May 1880, claiming there were 36 school-aged children in the district.

Goombungee Provisional School opened on 1 November 1881 in a 24-by-16-foot (7.3 by 4.9 m) weatherboard building with a shingle roof.

[14][15] In October 1890, St Matthew's Lutheran Church opened with 500 people in attendance.

[17] In August 1889 the Queensland Government provided 10 acres (4.0 ha) of land for a cemetery.

[18] However, the soil proved too difficult to dig a grave, so another 6.2-acre (2.5 ha) cemetery reserve was provided on 17 January 1894.

The first burial in the new cemetery was Edith Annie Lloyd, aged 10 months, occurring on 23 July 1894.

On 26 August 2012 the site (with the Greenwood and Peranga buildings) was decommissioned as a church and subsequently sold into private ownership for $185,000.
