Kholo is a rural locality in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. [3] In the 2021 census, Kholo had a population of 374 people. [1]
Kholo is an outermost locality of the City of Brisbane, located 42.3 kilometres (26.3 mi) by road WSW from the Brisbane CBD, [4] but only 10.4 kilometres (6.5 mi) by road west from the Ipswich CBD. [5]
The locality is bounded to the south and west by the Brisbane River and to the north by the Dandy Range and to the north-east by the D'Aguilar Range. [6]
Kholo has the following mountains (from north to south):
Lake Manchester Road enters the locality from the south-west (Mount Crosby) and exits to the north-west (Lake Manchester). Kholo Road enters the locality from the south-east, crossing the Brisbane River on the Kholo Bridge ( 27°33′54″S152°44′52″E / 27.56501°S 152.74765°E ), from Chuwar (in City of Brisbane) and Muirlea (in City of Ipswich). Kholo Road terminates at its junction with Lake Manchester Road in the north-west of the locality. [11]
The land use is a mixture of grazing on native vegetation, rural residential housing, and bushland reserves. [12]
Land sales took place in the parish of Kholo in October 1852. [13]
On Friday 23 June 1876, the Kholo Bridge across the Brisbane River to Chuwar was officially opened. Due to a period of heavy rain, the river was swollen and the deck of the new bridge was 3 feet (0.91 m) below the surface of the river. Determined to have a first official crossing of the bridge, a group of workmen pulled a buggy containing Mrs James Foote (described as a "courageous lady") across the submerged bridge and Mrs Foote smashed a bottle against a bridge post and named the bridge. A banquet followed the ceremony. [14] [15]
Kholo Provisional School opened circa 1 January 1877. It was described in June 1877 as being in a barn in an inconvenient location. [16] In June 1878, the local residents were advocating for a more permanent state school. [17] In September 1883, a report describes the school as having "most irregular" attendance. [18] In July 1884, Kholo was again mentioned as having an average attendance of 16 students out of 30 enrolled. [19] It closed circa 1 December 1884. [20] [21] In July 1886, local residents asked for a state school to replace the former provisional school, [22] but no further schools were built in the area.
In May 1881, tenders were called for the erection of a provisional school in Lower Kholo (now Mount Crosby), [23] which seems to result in Kholo Provisional School being casually referred to as Upper Kholo Provisional School. [24]
Kholo, Mount Crosby and Karana Downs were transferred from the City of Ipswich to become part of City of Brisbane in 2000. [25]
In the 2011 census, Kholo had a population of 397 people, 50.4% female and 49.6% male.

[26]
