Black Mountain is a rural locality in the Shire of Noosa, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, Black Mountain had a population of 1,444 people.[1]

Geography

The locality Black Mountain is located west of Cooroy and south of Pomona.[3]

Black Mountain is a mountain in the centre of the locality (26°25′20S 152°51′17E / 26.4222°S 152.8546°E / -26.4222; 152.8546 (Black Mountain)), rising to a peak of 312 metres (1,024 ft) above sea level.[4][5] The locality presumably takes its name from the mountain. The peak of the mountain has a number of communications towers on it; it is accessed by Eungella Drive.[6][7]

The Bruce Highway (now built to a freeway standard continuous four-lanes to Brisbane) enters the locality from the north-east (Cooroy) and forms part of the locality's northern boundary with Pomona.[3]

The North Coast railway line forms a small part of the north-eastern boundary of the locality. No railway stations serve the locality, the nearest are in Cooroy railway station and Pomona railway station.[3]

The land use is a mixture of rural residential (mostly in the north and east of the locality) and rural (mostly in the south and west of the locality). The main rural land use is grazing on native vegetation with some forestry.[3]

History

Black Mountain State School opened on 21 July 1913 in a temporary building loaned by farmer Edward James Bonnell, while the school building was constructed on 1.5 acres (0.61 ha) of land donated by Bonnell, opening on 5 August 1914.[8][9][10] It was at 482 Black Mountain Road (26°25′19S 152°50′48E / 26.4219°S 152.8466°E / -26.4219; 152.8466 (Black Mountain State School (former))).[11][12][13][3] The first teacher was Miss Catherine Alice Bergin.[14] The school closed for a period in 1919 due to the Spanish flu epidemic. It closed permanently on 31 December 1961.[9] The school building is still extant, having been converted to a residence.[15][16]
