Geography

The North Coast railway line passed through the locality from south to north with the locality served by the Elliott railway station.[4][5]


History


The name Alloway is taking from the railway siding, which was in turned named after Alloway, Ayrshire, Scotland (the birthplace of Robert Burns) on 8 July 1939 by the Queensland Railways Department.[2]

Elliott State School opened on 4 February 1886 and it is believed there was a "school at Bingera and Baranyan Homestead near Bundaberg" on the site prior to this. In 1960, it was renamed Alloway State School.[6]

Clayton State School opened on 31 July 1930 on a 5-acre (2.0 ha) site donated by Mrs Ernestina Julia Sarah Natzke. It closed in 1947 but reopened in 1952. It closed permanently on 31 December 1971.[7] On 16 January 1989 the Queensland Government decided to returned land to Mrs Ernestina Crank, the daughter and sole beneficiary of Mrs Natzke who had died in August 1988.[8] The school was at 430 Clayton Road (24.9237°S 152.3553°E / -24.9237; 152.3553 (30 September 2020)).[9]

The Clayton railway station on the North Coast railway line was located at 24.9246°S 152.3639°E / -24.9246; 152.3639 (Clayton railway station).[9]
