Geography

Cambroon is located on the Mary River. It is on the Maleny-Kenilworth Road. It is situated about 98 km away from Brisbane.

History

Cambroon takes its name from the pastoral run of the same name, which was established in 1855 by J. D. MacTaggart. [3] The name of the pastoral run is believed to be the name of an Aboriginal leader at the time of first contact. [4]

In 1887, 16,000 acres (6,500 ha) of land were resumed from the Cambroon pastoral run for the establishment of small farms. The land was offered for selection on 17 April 1887. [5]

Residents began to lobby for a school in 1919. [6] Cambroon Provisional School opened on 5 February 1923 and became Cambroon State School on 1 December 1924. [7] [8] The school closed in May 1944. [9] [10] It was on a 5-acre (2.0 ha) site at 1038 Eastern Mary River Road ( 26°38′33″S152°41′15″E / 26.64263°S 152.68739°E / -26.64263; 152.68739 (Cambroon State School (former)) ). [11] [12] [13] In 1949, tenders were called to remove the school building and re-erect it at Wamuran State School. [14]
