Durah is a locality in the Western Downs Region, Queensland, Australia. [2] In the 2016 census, Durah had a population of 6 people. [1]
The locality was named after a pastoral run held in the early 1850s by Thorne and Ridler who also held the adjoining Darr and Ballon runs. The name is believed to be of Aboriginal origin, meaning thigh . In an 1883 map, the Durah run appears with Durah Creek flowing through it and joining Charleys Creek to the south. It is not known whether the creek (with gully and waterhole), or the run was named first. [2]
