Burrandowan pastoral run was established in 1843. It occupied at least part of what is now the locality of Durong. Parts of Burrandowan were resumed in the 1890s to encourage closer settlement.

Mundubbera–Durong Road is a continuous 105-kilometre (65 mi) road route in the North Burnett and South Burnett local government areas of Queensland, Australia. It is signed as State Route 75.[1] It is a state-controlled regional road (number 435).[2][3] It has been designated as a road of strategic importance by the Federal Government.[4]

Route description

[edit]

The road starts at an intersection with the Burnett Highway in the locality of Mundubbera in the North Burnett region. It runs south through the town, where it is known as Strathdee Street, then crosses the Burnett River and enters the locality of Boynewood. It runs generally south-west through Boynewood, passing the exit to Boondooma Road[a] (which leads to Gayndah–Mundubbera Road)[b] to the south-east, then crossing the Boyne River on the John Peterson Bridge and entering Derri Derra. Continuing generally south, the road passes through Derri Derra and the north-west corner of Beeron before transiting the south-eastern corner of Brovinia. Next it crosses the regional and locality boundary, entering Boondooma in the South Burnett region. It turns south-east to Boondooma village, passing the exit to Manar Road to the north-east, and then south towards Durong, passing the exit to Proston-Boondooma Road to the east. Continuing south through Durong it ends at an intersection with the Chinchilla–Wondai Road.[1][5]

The road is fully sealed to a major road (two lane) standard.[5]

A project to replace a single lane timber bridge (John Peterson Bridge) with a new two lane concrete structure was under construction in January 2022.[6] The bridge was opened in June 2023.[7]

This road is part of the shortest route from the Warrego Highway at Dalby to the Bruce Highway at Calliope,[8] and also from Dalby to Biloela.[9]

History

[edit]
Main articles: Mundubbera § History; Beeron, Queensland § History; Brovinia, Queensland § History; Boondooma Homestead § History; and Burrandowan Station Homestead § History

Mundubbera pastoral run was established in 1848. A town reserve was established in 1861, but closer settlement did not occur until the early 1900s, spurred by the imminent arrival of the railway.[10][11]

Beeron (or Beerone) pastoral run was established by 1856.[12]

Brovinia (or Brorinia) pastoral run was established about 1850.[13]

Boondooma pastoral run was established in 1846. A large part of Boondooma was resumed for closer settlement in 1885.[14]

Burrandowan pastoral run was established in 1843. It occupied at least part of what is now the locality of Durong. Parts of Burrandowan were resumed in the 1890s to encourage closer settlement. Further resumptions were made in 1917 to provide land for the Soldier Settlement Scheme.[15]
