History


Bunya Creek Provisional School opened circa 1881. On 1 January 1909 it became Bunya Creek State School. It closed in 1928 due to low student numbers.[3]

Urangan Road State School opened on 22 February 1915. In 1956 it was renamed Bingham Road State School. It closed on 1960.[4] Despite the name, the school was 847 Booral Road (formerly Nikenbah Bingham Road) in Bunya Creek (25.3453°S 152.8505°E / -25.3453; 152.8505 (Bingham Road State School (former))).[5][6][7][8]
