Geography

The locality of Ellinthorp is entirely contained within the boundaries of Talgai. [3] This is quite unusual in Queensland which does not normally permit such a containment, requiring all localities to have at least two neighbours. [4]

The South Western railway line enters the locality from the north (Elphinstone/Allora) and exits to the south-east (Hendon). The Ellinthorp railway station is an abandoned railway station on the line ( 28°02′55″S151°55′26″E / 28.0486°S 151.9240°E / -28.0486; 151.9240 (Ellinthorp railway station) ), which, despite the name, is in Talgai but immediately east of the town of Ellinthorp. [5] [6]

History

The locality name derives from the pastoral run name established by G. Gammie who arrived on the Condamine River with stock on 9 March 1841. [2]

Talgai West Provisional School opened on 22 September 1902. On 17 April 1916, it became Talgai West State School. It experienced a number of temporary closures due to low student numbers. On 1 July 1920, it became a half-time provisional school in conjunction with Deuchar Provisional School (meaning a single teacher was shared between the two schools). The school closed on 31 October 1921, reopening on 19 July 1922 as a full-time school. It closed on 27 August 1962, briefly reopened and closed permanently in 1963. [7] It was on the south-eastern side of Dalrymple Creek Road ( 28°02′32″S151°53′11″E / 28.04236°S 151.88648°E / -28.04236; 151.88648 (Talgai West State School (former)) ). [8] [3]
