Wonglepong, Queensland

Download coordinates as: Wonglepong is a rural locality in the Scenic Rim Region, Queensland, Australia.

[1] Wonglepong straddles a valley upstream from where Canungra Creek joins the Albert River.

Wonglepong is believed to be an Aboriginal name possibly meaning either forgotten sound or referring to some feature of Mount Tamborine.

[6][7] The school was within the present-day Henry Franklin Family Park on Mundoolun Connection Road.

[12][13] The Wonglepong branch of the Queensland Country Women's Association was formed in 1925, founded by Ann Franklin.

The branch met in her home for the first eight years, after which her poor health necessitated other members taking turns to host the meetings while funds were raised for a permanent hall.

Ann Franklin's son, a carpenter, was in charge of the construction assisted by volunteer labour from the members' husbands.

On 4 December 1935, the hall was officially opened by Mrs Buchanan, the President of Central Division of the QCWA.
