Geography

The Dawson Highway enters the locality from the east (Dumgree) and exits to the south-east (Mount Murchison); it does not pass through or near the town. [4]

The Moura railway line enters the locality from the west (Jambin), passes through the town, and exits the locality to the south (Dakenba). [4] Historically, the town was served by the Callide railway station ( 24°18′06″S150°27′48″E / 24.3018°S 150.4634°E / -24.3018; 150.4634 (Callide railway station (former)) ), but it is now abandoned. [5]

The town of Callide is the south-west of the locality on the boundary with Jambin near the railway station. It has had little development. [4]

The land use is a mix of crop growing and grazing on native vegetation. [4]

History

The town takes its name from the creek and pastoral run, originally used by pioneer pastoralist Charles Archer in 1853, who possibly intended to use the Greek word "kalos" meaning good, as a description of the country, which was corrupted to "Calleide" on a later survey. [2]

The Kilburnie Homestead was established in 1885. [6]

Callide Provisional School opened on 24 November 1925. On 1 June 1927, it became Callide State School. It closed in 1971.

[8] Although it is within the town of Callide, it is within the present-day boundaries of the neighbouring locality of Jambin. [4]

Callide Bridge State School opened 10 June 1929, but had a number of name changes in 1929 including Melton and Raeworth before becoming Raedon State School. It closed in 1959. [7] [9] It was at 11 Teys Road ( 24°21′58″S150°29′55″E / 24.3662°S 150.4985°E / -24.3662; 150.4985 (Raedon State School (former)) ), [10] now within Biloela but on the locality boundary with Dakenba. [4]
