Download coordinates as: Pleystowe is a rural locality in the Mackay Region, Queensland, Australia.

[9] Built in 1885, the first section of the Pioneer Valley railway line came west from Mackay via Pleystowe to Mirani (then known as Hamilton) and then south to Eton.

[11] The line had the following stations (now dismantled) servicing the locality (from west to east): Pleystowe Provisional School opened on 15 April 1896 on a 3-acre (1.2 ha) site on the Green Nob.

The site was described as "a most imposing one for a school and the view from the crest of the Nob and the exhilarating breeze one gets on reaching it well repays for the little climb".

[18] It became Pleystowe State School on 1 January 1909, although by July 1909, it was criticised for having an average daily attendance of only 11.7 students.
