Boyland is a locality in the Scenic Rim Region, Queensland, Australia. [2] At the 2016 Australian Census, the locality recorded a population of 823. [1]
Boyland's western extent is defined by the Albert River. In the east the slopes of Tamborine Mountain rise sharply to elevations greater than 500 m.
The area is named after the railway station which is in turn named after George Boyland, the chairman of Tamborine Shire Council from 1907 to 1908 and supporter of the Canungra branch railway. [2]
Boyland Post Office opened on 1 July 1927 (a receiving office had been open from 1915) and closed in 1945. [3]
Boyland railway station ( 27°56′38″S153°07′55″E / 27.9439°S 153.132°E ) was on the Canungra railway line, which operated from 1915 to 1955. [4]
In 1948 a hall in the Canungra Church grounds was relocated to Bibbaddaba Street in Boyland (approx 27°56′34″S153°07′58″E / 27.9429°S 153.1329°E ) to hold Anglican services. The land was donated by Ronald Graham. [5] St Hilda's Anglican Church was dedicated on 3 May 1953 by Coadjutor Bishop Horace Henry Dixon. The lack of funds for necessary repairs resulted in the closure of the church with its last service being held on 5 March 1965. The building was relocated to Wonglepong where George Smith used it as a shed. The interior fittings and furnishings were donated to other churches with the chairs going to St George's Anglican Church on Tamborine Mountain, while the altar, cross and organ went to the proposed chapel at the Australian Army's Jungle Training Centre at Canugra.
