Tirroan

Tirroan is a rural town and a locality in the Bundaberg Region, Queensland, Australia.

[1] The name Tirroan comes from the title of the first British pastoral property set up in the region, which was established by Gregory Blaxland Jnr and William Forster in 1848.

[4] It is possible that it is derived from the name of an Aboriginal stockman on this run, who later died of tuberculosis in 1880.

[2] The town itself was initially known as West Albany but the name was changed on 3 August 1899.

[6] It was on the eastern side of St Kilda Road (approx 25°01′22″S 151°55′28″E / 25.02277°S 151.92454°E / -25.02277; 151.92454 (Tirroan State School (former))).
