Brovinia is a rural locality in the North Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia. [2] In the 2021 census, Brovinia had "no people or a very low population". [1]
The Auburn River forms the northern boundary. [3]
The Mundubbera-Durong Road (State Route 75) runs through from north-east to south. [4]
The Allies Creek State Forest occupies most of the locality, extending south into neighbouring Boondooma. Apart from this protected area, the land use is predominantly grazing on native vegetation. [5]
The locality takes its name from a pastoral run established in about 1850. The name was written as Brorinia on maps in 1872 and 1878, but has been written as Brovinia since 1887. A postal receiving office was established in 1888 but closed in 1889. [2]
Brovinia Creek Provisional School opened on 16 July 1945, becoming Brovinia Creek State School in 1951. It closed circa December 1969. [6] [7] It is in a pocket of Brovinia Creek on the north-western corner of Mongorilby Road and Mundubbera-Durong Road, near the old Brovinia homestead (approx 25°57′12″S151°08′32″E / 25.9532°S 151.1423°E ). [8] [9]
In the 2016 census, Brovinia had a population of 10 people. [10]
In the 2021 census, Brovinia had "no people or a very low population". [1]
There are no schools in Brovinia. The nearest government primary schools are Monogorilby State School in neighbouring Monogorilby to the south-west and Boynewood State School in Boynewood to the north-east. The nearest government secondary schools are Mundubbera State College (to Year 10) in Mundubbera to the north-east and Eidsvold State School (to Year 12) in Eidsvold to the north. For some students in Brovinia, these secondary schools might be too distant for a daily commute; the alternatives are distance education and boarding school. [11]
