Rawbelle, Queensland

Rawbelle is a rural locality in the North Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia.

[8] Rawbelle pastoral station was established by Adolphus Henry Trevethan in 1848 with the homestead on the southern bank of the Nogo River, now marked by a date palm and a plaque.

In March 1852, Trevethan was killed by local Aboriginal people.

The land of Rawbelle station was reduced by the Upper Burnett and Callide Valley Land Settlement Scheme in 1923, which encourages closer settlement.

However, for students in the south-western parts of Rawbelle, the distances to these primary and secondary schools would be too far for a daily commute; the alternatives are distance education and boarding school.
