The land use is a mix of crops and grazing on native vegetation. [4]

History

The town takes its name from the railway station, which in turn was named by Queensland Railways Department on 15 September 1911, and is thought to be an Aboriginal word, meaning red ridge. [2]

Daymar Provisional School opened on 11 March 1946, becoming Daymar State School in 1952. In 1977-1978 the closed Kurumbul State School's building was relocated from Kurumbul to Daymar State School. [6]

It closed on 9 December 1983. [7] It was in Waugh Street opposite the railway station ( 28°36′18″S148°59′02″E / 28.6049°S 148.9838°E / -28.6049; 148.9838 (Daymar State School (former)) ). [8]

The nearest secondary schools are Dirranbandi State School (to Year 10) in Dirranbandi to the west and St George State High School (to Year 12) in St George to the north-west.
