The town, built up gradually over what was [[Kunja people|Kunja]] tribal territory, came into being initially as a resting place for bullock teams lying at the convergence of three bullock tracks from [[Morven, Queensland|Morven]], [[Tambo, Queensland|Tambo]], and Charleville. Originally called Burenda it was renamed Ellangowan (still the name of the local watering hole) and when gazetted in 1883 called Augathella. This is apparently an [[Indigenous Australian]] word meaning "camp on a waterhole", referring the [[Warrego River]].<ref name="qpnt" /><ref>http://www.wikiaustralia.com/destination/9005744/</ref> A service centre sprang up to service their needs and the needs of the burgeoning grazing industry.


===British colonisation===
Burenda Post Office opened on 1 September 1869. It was renamed Ellangowan in 1877 and Augathella in 1883.<ref name = "Post Office">{{Cite web | last = Premier Postal History | title = Post Office List | publisher = Premier Postal Auctions | url = https://www.premierpostal.com/cgi-bin/wsProd.sh/Viewpocdwrapper.p?SortBy=QLD&country= | accessdate = 10 May 2014}}</ref>
The first British explorer to enter the region was [[Edmund Kennedy]], whose 1847 expedition encountered an Aboriginal community who communicated the words "Yo, Yo" to express affirmation. Kennedy subsequently called the creek where he found this community Yo Yo Creek.<ref>{{cite book |title=Kennedy The Barcoo and Beyond 1847 |last=Beale |first=Edgar |year=1983 |publisher=Blubber Head Press |location=Hobart |isbn=0-908528-11-6}}</ref>


Pastoralists started to take land in the region in early 1862 with the arrival of James Norman, who took up vast leaseholds on behalf of [[Joseph Fleming (politician)|Joseph Fleming]] and Adeline Dollman. Norman established the Burenda, Yo Yo and Augathella properties.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article123606973 |title=Supreme Court, Ipswich. |newspaper=[[Queensland Times, Ipswich Herald And General Advertiser]] |volume=IV |issue=400 |location=Queensland, Australia |date=17 December 1864 |accessdate=1 October 2023 |page=6 |via=National Library of Australia |archive-date=5 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240305062543/https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/123606973 |url-status=live }}</ref>
Augathella is the destination of cattle drovers in the Australian folk song [[Brisbane Ladies]]. This song is alternately called "Augathella Station".


Aboriginal resistance to colonisation in the region was notable in that several victories were achieved against the paramilitary units of the [[Native Police]] on the upper Warrego and [[Ward River (Central West Queensland)|Ward river]]s. However, in 1864 a Native Police barracks was built on Yo Yo Creek, and [[punitive expedition]]s under officers such as Sub-Lieutenant Carr crushed any further resistance.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article19799819 |title=The Sketcher |newspaper=[[The Queenslander]] |volume=XXVIII |issue=516 |location=Queensland, Australia |date=15 August 1885 |accessdate=1 October 2023 |page=252 |via=National Library of Australia |archive-date=5 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240305062520/https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/19799819 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article1259304 |title=Upper Warrego. |newspaper=[[The Brisbane Courier]] |volume=XIX |issue=2000 |location=Queensland, Australia |date=25 June 1864 |accessdate=1 October 2023 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia |archive-date=5 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240305062521/https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/1259304 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Augathella /ˈɔːɡəθɛlə/ is a rural town and locality in the Shire of Murweh, Queensland, Australia.[2][3] In the 2021 census, the locality of Augathella had a population of 328 people.[4]

Geography

[edit]

Augathella lies on the Matilda Highway, is 85 kilometres (53 mi) north of the town of Charleville, 271 kilometres (168 mi) west of Roma and 748 kilometres (465 mi) west of Brisbane (Queensland's capital). The town lies on the banks of the Warrego River.[citation needed]

Grazing is still the predominant industry of the area.[citation needed]

History

[edit]

Aboriginal people

[edit]

Bidjara (also known as Bidyara, Pitjara, and Peechara) is an Australian Aboriginal language spoken by the Bidjara people. The Bidjara language region includes the local government areas of the Shire of Murweh, particularly the towns of Charleville, Augathella and Blackall as well as the properties of Nive Downs and Mount Tabor.[5]

Gungabula (also known as Kongabula and Khungabula) is an Australian Aboriginal language of the headwaters of the Dawson River in Central Queensland. The language region includes areas within the local government area of Maranoa Region, particularly the towns of Charleville, Augathella and Blackall and as well as the Carnarvon Range.[6]

Gunya (Kunya, Kunja, Kurnja) is an Australian Aboriginal language spoken by the Gunya people. The Gunya language region includes the landscape within the local government boundaries of the Paroo Shire Council, taking in Cunnamulla and extending north towards Augathella, east towards Bollon and west towards Thargomindah.[7]

British colonisation

[edit]

The first British explorer to enter the region was Edmund Kennedy, whose 1847 expedition encountered an Aboriginal community who communicated the words "Yo, Yo" to express affirmation. Kennedy subsequently called the creek where he found this community Yo Yo Creek.[8]

Pastoralists started to take land in the region in early 1862 with the arrival of James Norman, who took up vast leaseholds on behalf of Joseph Fleming and Adeline Dollman. Norman established the Burenda, Yo Yo and Augathella properties.[9]

Aboriginal resistance to colonisation in the region was notable in that several victories were achieved against the paramilitary units of the Native Police on the upper Warrego and Ward rivers. However, in 1864 a Native Police barracks was built on Yo Yo Creek, and punitive expeditions under officers such as Sub-Lieutenant Carr crushed any further resistance.[10][11]

Augathella township

[edit]

The town, built up gradually over what was Kunja tribal territory, came into being initially as a resting place for bullock teams lying at the convergence of three bullock tracks from Morven, Tambo, and Charleville. Originally called Burenda it was renamed Ellangowan (still the name of the local watering hole) and when gazetted in 1883 called Augathella. This is apparently an Indigenous Australian word meaning "camp on a waterhole", referring the Warrego River.[2][12] A service centre sprang up to service their needs and the needs of the burgeoning grazing industry.

Burenda Post Office opened on 1 September 1869. It was renamed Ellangowan in 1877 and Augathella in 1883.[13]

Augathella Provisional School opened on 1 January 1884. On 7 August 1893 it became Augathella State School.[14][15]

On Sunday 10 July 1892 St Luke's Anglican church was officially opened by Bishop Nathaniel Dawes.[16][17] A new church was built at a cost of £8300 and dedicated in 1957.[18]

On 1 October 1928 Rev W.C. Radcliffe officially opened the Augathella Presbyterian Church.[19]

The 1956 film Smiley was based on Moore Raymond's novel of the same name, which was set in a fictionalised version of Augathella.[20][21][22]

The town's service centre was bypassed by the new Matilda Highway during the 1980s. Some new businesses have slowly encroached back onto the highway frontage.[citation needed]

Augathella and the surrounding district suffered extensive flood damage in April 1990 when the Warrego River burst its banks and flooded the town with more than 50 houses inundated.[23][24]

The Augathella Library opened in 2000.[25]

Augathella Cosmos Meatant Country

Since 2011 the main street of the town has been marked by 4.5m steel and copper giant sculpture of a meat ant[26] - in a reference to its former junior football team, named the "Mighty Meat Ants".[27]
