Geography


The town is located 215 kilometres (134 mi) north of the Queensland's capital city, Brisbane.[5] Most of the locality and the town is within Gympie Region with only a small area in the north-east in the Fraser Coast Region.

The western boundary of the locality is the Mary River.

The North Coast railway line passes through the locality from south to north with the Theebine railway station serving the town. The former Kingaroy railway line (later the Nanango railway line) branched at Theebine with the Dickabram railway station (25°57′13″S 152°30′02″E)[6] located in Theebine just before the Dickabram Bridge over the Mary River.[7]


History


The town was originally established to service the railway junction where the Kingaroy line branched from the North Coast railway line. The Kingaroy to Theebine railway, opened in December 1904, was used for agriculture and commercial freight as well as transporting passengers and was one of the first branch lines built in Queensland.[8] Formerly Kilkivan Junction, it was re-named by the Railways Department as Theebine on 23 May 1910, using a Waka language word, dhil-bvain indicating the lung fish, Ceratodus Forsteri.[9][10][11]

The Theebine Hotel was first built in 1909 and was known as the Kilkivan Junction Hotel.[12][13][14]

The Kilkivan Junction Provisional School opened in 1889 and became Kilkivan Junction State School on 1 Jan 1909. In 1910 it was renamed Theebine State School.[15]

The Theebine to Kingaroy line was officially closed in early 2010.[16]

In the 2011 census, Theebine had a population of 182 people.[1]
