Goomburra, Queensland

Download coordinates as: Goomburra is a rural town and locality in the Southern Downs Region, Queensland, Australia.

It is the valley of Dalrymple Creek which flows from east to west away from the Great Dividing Range towards Allora.

[5] Although there is mountainous terrain within the locality with elevations ranging from 495 to 1,100 metres (1,624 to 3,609 ft) above sea level, there is only one named peak, Masters Knob (28°01′27″S 152°06′18″E / 28.0243°S 152.1050°E / -28.0243; 152.1050 (Masters Knob)) which rises to 684 metres (2,244 ft) above sea level.

Apart from the protected area, the land use is a mix of crop growing (mostly on the lower elevations near Dalrymple Creek), grazing on native vegetation (mostly on the higher elevations), and some rural residential housing.

[14] Circa August 1901, the Queensland Government purchased the Goomburra pastoral run of 13,253 acres (5,363 ha).

[19] St John's Anglican Church was dedicated in 1911 by The Venerable Arthur Richard Rivers.

The relocation of the church required two traction engines and took ten days to negotiate difficult terrain and other problems.

[24][25] On 31 December 1919 in the public hall, Littleton Groom (the member for Darling Downs) unveiled the town's honour board, listing the 32 names of those who had performed military service in World War I including 10 who died in the war.
