Geography

The locality is bounded to the west by Tinana Creek (a tributary of the Mary River) and to the north by Tulesco Road. [3] [4]

The Teddington Weir ( 25°39′00″S152°39′57″E / 25.65006°S 152.66590°E / -25.65006; 152.66590 (Teddington Weir) ) impounds Tinana Creek with Weir Road crossing the creek through downstream of the weir ( 25°38′58″S152°39′58″E / 25.64950°S 152.66610°E / -25.64950; 152.66610 (Weir Road crossing) ) connecting Magnolia with neighbouring Teddington. Dependng on the flow of water over the weir, the road crossing may be over a dry road or through shallow water. [5] [6] There is a water treatment facility on the Teddington side of the weir. The weir and the water treatment facility are operated by the Fraser Coast Regional Council and supply drinking water to the Maryborough area. [7] [8]

The land use in the locality is a mix of crop growing (mostly sugarcane), grazing on native vegetation, and some rural residential housing. [9]

[13] In July 1941, the school was officially opened on the new 5-acre (2.0 ha) site on the northern side of Tulesco Road (now within neighbouring Bidwill, 25°38′38″S152°41′50″E / 25.64378°S 152.69715°E / -25.64378; 152.69715 (Magnolia State School (former)) ). [14] [15] [16] It closed on 31 December 1963. [17]
