History

Boar Pocket State School opened in 1909. In 1912 it was renamed Barrine State School. It closed in 1958. [3]

In January 1911, residents of Kulara (then a small town to the north of Yungaburra) began lobbying for a school, claiming there were 42 children in the district. [4] Kulara State School opened on 17 June 1912. It closed on 1 September 1958, when the Tinaroo Dam began to fill, inundating the town. [5] However, being on higher ground, the school building was not flooded and became a private residence at 85 Backshall Road (now in Barrine, 17°14′39″S145°34′59″E / 17.24420°S 145.58306°E / -17.24420; 145.58306 (Kulara State School (former)) ). [6] [7] [8]

In the 2016 census, Barrine had a population of 241 people. [1]
