Woondul is a rural locality in the Toowoomba Region, Queensland, Australia.[1]

Geography[edit]

The north-west of the locality is within the Bulli State Forest and Wondul Range National Park. Apart from these protected areas, there is a small area of crop growing in the east of the locality, but the predominant land use is grazing on native vegetation.[2]

Mount Trapyard is in the south-east of the locality (28°07′14S 151°04′45E / 28.1205°S 151.0792°E / -28.1205; 151.0792 (Mount Trapyard)) rising to 509 metres (1,670 ft) above sea level.[3][4]

History[edit]

In 1852, the pastoral run Woondul was transferred from Thomas DeLacy MoffattoHenry Stuart Russell.[5] It can be seen as "Woondool" on a map of original pastoral runs on the Darling Downs.[1][6]

The locality was officially gazetted on 5 April 2012 and is named after the pastoral run.[1]

As at 2021, a pastoral property called Woondul still exists in the area but it is in within the boundaries of the neighbouring locality of Kindon to the south-west.[7]

Demographics[edit]

Woondul was not included as a census district in the 2016 census nor in the 2021 census.

Education[edit]

There are no schools in Woondul. The nearest government primary and secondary school (to Year 10) is Millmerran State School in Millmerran to the north-east. There are no schools nearby offering secondary schooling to Year 12; the options are distance education and boarding school.[8]
