Reedy Creek outstation on Rawbelle pastoral station, 1893

Rawbelle pastoral station was established by Adolphus Henry Trevethan in 1848 with the homestead on the southern bank of the Nogo River, now marked by a date palm and a plaque. In March 1852, Trevethan was killed by local Aboriginal people. [9] The homestead site was moved further north in 1890. The land of Rawbelle station was reduced by the Upper Burnett and Callide Valley Land Settlement Scheme in 1923, which encourages closer settlement. A town site called Rawbelle was surveyed in 1872 close to the original homestead site. [10]
