Kholo is a rural locality in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. [3] In the 2016 census, Kholo had a population of 396 people. [1]

On Friday 23 June 1876, the Kholo Bridge across the Brisbane River to Chuwar ( 27°33′54″S152°44′51″E / 27.5650°S 152.7476°E ) 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 men pulled a buggy containing 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. [4]
Kholo Provisional School opened circa 1 January 1877. It was described in June 1877 as being in a barn in an inconvenient location. [5] In June 1878, the local residents were advocating for a more permanent state school. [6] In September 1883, a report describes the school as having "most irregular" attendance. [7] In July 1884, Kholo was again mentioned as having an average attendance of 16 students out of 30 enrolled. [8] It closed circa 1 December 1884. [9] [10] In July 1886, local residents asked for a state school to replace the former provisional school, [11] 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), [12] which seems to result in Kholo Provisional School being casually referred to as Upper Kholo Provisional School. [13]
Kholo, Mount Crosby and Karana Downs were transferred from the City of Ipswich to become part of City of Brisbane in 2000. [14]
