History

Musket Flat Provisional School opened on 29 February 1904. It closed briefly in 1906 as there was no accommodation available for the teacher. In 1908, it was relocated and renamed Bowling Green Provisional School. On 1 January 1909, it became Bowling Green State School. In 1940, it was renamed Aramara North State School. It was on the north-east corner of Musket Flat Road and an unnamed road going east to the Doongul Creek ( 25°32′20″S152°19′30″E / 25.53896°S 152.32513°E / -25.53896; 152.32513 (Bowling Green / Aramara North State School (1908-1949)) ). [3] [4] The school was moved to a new site in 1949 and finally permanently closed in 1983. [5] It was on the north-western corner of Upper Bowling Green Road and North Aramara / Musket Flat Road ( 25°33′07″S152°19′06″E / 25.55187°S 152.31842°E / -25.55187; 152.31842 (Aramara North State School (1949-1983)) ). [6] As at 2023, the school buildings are still extant and the site is now the North Aramara Recreation Reserve. [7] [8]

Edward Nichol, timbercutter, and his cousin David Willam Boldery, teamster, both attended Bowling Green School and were killed in action in World War I. The names of these two soldiers are on what is now the North Aramara War Memorial. [9] [10] [11] [12]
