Allora
A quiet service centre in the Darling Downs.
161 km south-west of Brisbane, 58 km from Toowoomba and 467
m above sea level, Allora is known as the 'best little town
on the Downs'. Its name is probably a corruption of the
Aboriginal word 'gnallorah' meaning 'swampy place'. If it is
accurate translation it would be an apt description for this
pleasant little town which is located at the point where the
New England Highway crosses Dalrymple Creek.
The area around the present-day site of Allora was first
explored by Europeans in the early 1840s. Grazier Patrick
Leslie moved into the area in 1840-1841 with a stud of
combined merino and German sheep.
The area gained in importance when the government of New
South Wales decided to establish the town as an outpost. In
1859 the site was surveyed and became a municipality a
decade later. The town prospered as a service centre for the
agriculturally rich surrounding districts and as a stopover
point for the itinerant workers who travelled through the
area en route from Warwick to Toowoomba. Its chances of ever
becoming a major centre disappeared when the Toowoomba -
Warwick railway bypassed the town.
Things to see:
Allora Museum
Perhaps Allora's greatest attraction is the replica of the
Talgai skull (an Aboriginal cranium estimated to be 15 000
years old) which is kept in the Allora Museum, previously
the town's courthouse, built in 1860. It is open from 1.30
p.m. to 4.30 p.m. on Sundays but can be opened at other
times by contacting (07) 4666 3185.
Main Street
The main street is full of well-preserved historic
buildings. It is well worth exploring as it has a distinct
old world charm.
