History

The locality name Goolman comes from nearby Mount Goolman, which in turn derives its name from stone axe in the Yuggera language. [2]

Residents in the Fassifern Valley petitioned the Queensland Government to build a railway line to their district, and the first section of the Dugandan railway line was opened on 10 July 1882 as far as Harrisville. This is considered to be Queensland's first branch railway. Goolman was served by the Goolman railway station on the Ipswich Boonah Road ( 27°44′11″S152°44′30″E / 27.7365°S 152.7416°E / -27.7365; 152.7416 (Goolman railway station (former)) ). [4] The branch was extended to Dugandan on 12 September 1887. [5] [6] The line closed in 1964. [5] [7]
