Download coordinates as: Koumala is a rural town and coastal locality in the Mackay Region, Queensland, Australia.

A gravel road over this range provides alternate access to the Sarina hinterland and was the only route available for several years after the paved route over the Sarina range was destroyed by landslides that occurred during Cyclone Debbie.

[4] The main rail line between the Bowen Basin coal mines and the port of Hay Point also passes over this range with speed restricted to 60 kilometres per hour (37 mph) on the downhill section of line,[5] because of several derailments which have occurred in this section of track.

[13] British colonisation at Koumala began in the early 1860s when Mark Millet Christian established the Kelvin Grove pastoral farming station.

[14] In 1867, after some Aboriginal people had speared cattle at this pastoral lease, the Native Police troopers chased members of the clan to some islands offshore and when they tried to return to the mainland "such a lesson was administered" to keep them from "committing outrages in that locality".

[20] On Sunday 30 May 1954, the Catholic Church of the Holy Family was officially opened by Bishop Andrew Gerard Tynan.

[30] The Mackay Regional Council operates a mobile library service on a fortnightly schedule at Bull Street near the school.
