Geography

[edit]

The Perry Fault, a major regional strike-slip structure in South East Queensland is in the New England Orogenic Belt.[5][6]

Mount Perry is about 365 kilometres (227 mi) northwest of Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, and about 100 kilometres (62 mi) west of Bundaberg. The town is nestled in a valley near Mount Perry, the area's highest mountain. The Normanby Lookout is located on Normanby Range Road off Towns Creek Road from the Gin Gin-Mount Perry Road and offers views of the Mount Perry Township and the surrounding countryside. Schuh’s Lookout is on Schuhs Lookout Road off the Monto-Mount Perry Road at the top of the range, offering views south of Mount Perry.[7]

History

[edit]
Mount Perry railway station, 1925

Gureng Gureng (also known as Gooreng Gooreng, Goreng Goreng, Goeng, Gurang, Goorang Goorang, Korenggoreng) is an Australian Aboriginal language spoken by the Gureng Gureng people. The Gooreng Gooreng language region includes the towns of Bundaberg, Gin Gin and Miriam Vale extending south towards Childers, inland to Monto and Mt Perry.[8]

The locality takes its name from Mount Perry pastoral run which was named in 1857. Originally there were two private towns known as Fife-Barnett and the town of Tenningering. Tenningering was renamed Mount Perry on 14 January 1915.[2]

In 1869, copper was discovered at Mount Perry (approx 100 km west of Bundaberg) and the township grew rapidly.[9] A railway to the coast was essential to provide cheap transport and make the mining of low percentage ore viable. Maryborough and Bundaberg vied for the opportunity to be the terminus and the latter city was successful. The first 65 kilometres (40 mi) section of the Mount Perry railway line from North Bundaberg railway station (originally called Bundaberg station) to Moolboolaman opened on 19 July 1881.[10]

Mount Perry Provisional School opened on 7 October 1871 in a "crude bark humpy" with 36 students under teacher Archibald Douglas of Gayndah. It became Mount Perry State School on 9 February 1874.[11] In the early 1900s, the school had several hundred students. On Saturday 1 April 1922, the teacher's residence was burned down, but a bucket brigade was able to save the school building.[12] In September 1954, a new school building opened on the school's current site.[13]

Mount Perry Post Office opened on 26 July 1871. It was known as Tenningering between 1882 and 1884.[14][15][16]

Mount Perry Wesleyan Methodist Church opened on Sunday 21 July 1872.[17][18] It was built from timber at a cost of £220. It could seat 120 people.[19] In 1919, it was relocated to become the Methodist Church in Woowoonga. In 1939, it was relocated to Biggenden to be used as the Methodist church hall.[20][21][22]

St Patrick's Catholic Church was built in 1873.[23] A Catholic day school opened at the church under teacher Miss Bertheau.[24] A second St Patrick's Church was built in 1904 from timber on the site of the earlier church, which had sold for removal.[25][26] The architect was F H Faircloth and the builder was John Guthrie.[27] Although the church was to be opened on Sunday 12 February 1905 by Archbishop Robert Dunne, he was unable to attend on the day and the church was officially opened by the local priest Father Mimnagh with over 400 people in attendance.[28][29]

Schoolchildren and teacher outside the school at Drummers Creek, 1908

Drummer's Creek Provisional School opened on 5 April 1880. On 1 January 1909, it became Drummer's Creek State School. It closed in 1959.[11] It was at 1 School Lane (25°08′25″S 151°37′31″E / 25.1404°S 151.6253°E / -25.1404; 151.6253 (Drummer's Creek State School (former))).[30]

Mount Perry was connected by the Mount Perry railway line to Bundaberg from 1884 until 1960.[31]

St Anne's Anglican Church was built in 1903. It could seat 100 people.[32]

Mount Perry Presbyterian Church was opened on Wednesday 17 June 1908 by the Reverend Andrew Gillison.[33][34] It has closed. It was at 11 Isabella Street (25°10′39″S 151°38′38″E / 25.177508°S 151.6439°E / -25.177508; 151.6439 (Mount Perry Methodist Church)).[35] As at April 2021, the church building was still extant and signed as the "Hilltop Chapel".[36]

The Salvation Army hall opened on Saturday 8 August 1908.[37]

Harpur's Hill Provisional School opened on 1908 and closed circa 1909.[38] It reopened in 1917, becoming Harpur's Hill State School. In 1919, it had 11 students under teacher Miss E. Plumb.[39] It closed permanently circa 1924.[11] It was on a 2-acre (0.81 ha) site on the western side of Homestead Road (25°08′18″S 151°33′52″E / 25.1382°S 151.5645°E / -25.1382; 151.5645) and served a mining community.[38][40][41][42]
