Boonah (including Aratula and Cunningham's Gap)
Attractive town in the heart of a prosperous agricultural
area.
Located 84 km south-west of Brisbane and 100 m above
sea-level, Boonah is known as 'The Heart of the Fassifern'.
It is a very pretty little town with lots of timber houses.
Surrounded by hills it was established in 1882 as a service
centre for the surrounding farms. The area produces
vegetables for the nearby Brisbane markets (notably carrots
and potatoes), cereal crops, beef, pork and timber.
The larger Boonah Shire covers an area of 1904 square
kilometres and has an estimated total population of 8,000.
Originally known, rather unromantically, as the Goolman
Division Board, the name was changed in 1937. Boonah, an
Anglicised version of the Aboriginal word 'buna', supposedly
means bloodwood tree.
Nearby Lake Moogerah is a popular haunt for boating
enthusiasts and waterskiers.
Things to see:
Templin Historical Museum
On the Boonah-Fassifern Road (between Boonah and the
Cunningham Highway, 3 km out of town) is the excellent
Templin Historical Museum. A typical Queensland folk museum
it contains, spread over a large number of buildings, an
interesting collection of artefacts and memorabilia which
chronicle the history of the local area, tel: (07) 5463
1970.
Mt French National Park
The Boonah Shire has a number of interesting national parks
where bushwalking is possible. There is Mount French
National Park near the town. The climb to the top of Mount
French is rewarded by excellent panoramic views over the
Fassifern Valley. It is part of the 676-hectare Moogerah
Peaks National Park which includes a number of volcanic
peaks and rocky cliffs to the west of the town. Mt Moon, Mt
Edwards and Mt Greville are the more isolated areas of the
park and are suitable for experienced bushwalkers.
Main Range National Park
To the west lies the Main Range National Park with its
famous Cunningham's Gap. The European discovery of the gap
was made, not surprisingly, by Allan Cunningham who saw it
in 1827 while exploring the Darling Downs. He believed it
would facilitate access between the downs and Moreton Bay
and later made this very journey to prove his point. For
more information ring (07) 4639 4599.
Boys Town
Situated in the area is Boys Town. This famous home for boys
is a totally self-contained village. It is well worth a
visit. It has its own mayor and town council and can be
inspected by arrangement, tel: (07) 5541 1511.
Lake Moogerah
Lake Moogerah is a popular with boating enthusiasts and
waterskiers.
