Download coordinates as: Tolga is a rural town and locality in the Tablelands Region, Queensland, Australia.

[5] To the north-west of the town is a large residential development which is marketed under the names of Tandara, Rangeview and Panorama Views.

The south-western boundary of the locality is the Great Dividing Range which creates the drainage divide that separates the drainage basin of the Barron River (which flows to the Coral Sea) from that of the Mitchell River (which flows to the Gulf of Carpentaria).

[5] The northern and eastern parts of Tolga are relatively flat land used for growing crops.

[10] Bones Knob is thought to be named after a young Aboriginal man known as "Bones", mention in a letter written in February 1879 by Alexander Douglas of the Native Mounted Police to Inspector Stuart of the Queensland Police.

[13] The town's name was changed to Tolga in 1903 when Tablelands railway line was extended from Mareeba to Atherton and the local railway station was to be called Tolga, a name thought to be derived from the Aboriginal word for either place where the scrub begins or red volcanic soil.

[8] During World War II in 1943 the Australian Army established their largest storage and repair centre to the west of the town centred on Griffin Road and Tate Road to support the War in the Pacific.

Although they were rushed to the Atheron hospital, the three men died and were buried at the Atherton War Cemetery.

[28] The Tolga branch of the Queensland Country Women's Association meets at the QCWA Hall at 60 Main Street.
