The town lies on the banks of the Warrego River. HistoryThe town, built up gradually over what was Kunja tribal territory, came into being initially as a resting place for bullock teams lying at the convergence of three bullock tracks from Morven, Tambo, and Charleville. Originally called Burenda it was renamed Ellangowan (still the name of the local watering hole) and when gazetted in 1883 called Augathella. This is apparently an Indigenous Australian word meaning "camp on a waterhole", referring the Warrego River.[1][4] A service centre sprang up to service their needs and the needs of the burgeoning grazing industry. Burenda Post Office opened on 1 September 1869. It was renamed Ellangowan in 1877 and Augathella in 1883.[5] Augathella is the destination of cattle drovers in the Australian folk song Brisbane Ladies. This song is alternately called "Augathella Station". The 1956 film Smiley was based on Moore Raymond's novel on the same name, which was set in a fictionalised version of Augathella.[6][7] The Augathella Library opened in 2000.[8] At the 2006 census, Augathella had a population of 395.[9] FacilitiesThe Murweh Shire Council operates the Augathella Library on Main Street, Augathella.[10] The Augathella branch of the Queensland Country Women's Association has its rooms at 101 Cavanagh Street.[11] EducationAugathella State School opened its doors on 1 January 1884.[12] The school caters for students from Prep to Year 6.[13] TodayThe town's service centre was bypassed by the new Matilda Highway during the 1980s. Some new businesses have slowly encroached back onto the highway frontage. There is a growing arts centre in the town, public library, public swimming pool, a bowls club and there is an annual rodeo. Augathella has some polocrosse teams. Today, grazing is still the predominant industry of the area. The town is situated on the Warrego River (an Aboriginal word meaning river of sand). Since 2011 the entrance the town has been marked by 4.5m steel and copper giant sculpture of a meat ant[14] - in a reference to its former junior football team, named the "Mighty Meat Ants".[15] References1. ^1 {{cite QPN|1008|Augathella|town|accessdate=10 June 2017}} {{refimprove|date=January 2008}}2. ^{{cite QPN|42920|Augathella|locality|accessdate=10 June 2017}} 3. ^1 {{Census 2016 AUS|id=SSC30102 |name=Augathella (SSC)|accessdate=28 December 2017|quick=on}} 4. ^http://www.wikiaustralia.com/destination/9005744/ 5. ^{{Cite web | last = Premier Postal History | title = Post Office List | publisher = Premier Postal Auctions | url = https://www.premierpostal.com/cgi-bin/wsProd.sh/Viewpocdwrapper.p?SortBy=QLD&country= | accessdate = 10 May 2014}} 6. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article49716278 |title=£100,000 FILM PLANNED. |newspaper=The Courier-Mail |location=Brisbane |date=21 March 1950 |accessdate=4 January 2018 |page=3 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 7. ^{{cite news|newspaper=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|title=Augathella to paint 'Smiley' tribute mural|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2008-06-17/augathella-to-paint-smiley-tribute-mural/2473754|accessdate=4 January 2018}} 8. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.plconnect.slq.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0012/388497/SLQ_StatsBulletin1617_20171109.pdf|title=Queensland Public Libraries Statistical Bulletin 2016-2017|last=|first=|date=|website=Public Libraries Connect|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=31 January 2018}} 9. ^{{Census 2006 AUS|id=UCL302000|name=Augathella (L) (Urban Centre/Locality)|accessdate=2008-01-02|quick=on}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.plconnect.slq.qld.gov.au/networking/directory-of-public-libraries/branches/murweh/augathella_library|title=Augathella Library|last=|first=|date=|website=Public Libraries Connect|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=31 January 2018}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.qcwa.org.au/branch-locations/|title=Branch locations|last=|first=|date=|website=Queensland Country Women's Association|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181226010724/http://www.qcwa.org.au/branch-locations/|archive-date=26 December 2018|dead-url=no|access-date=26 December 2018}} 12. ^{{Cite web|url=http://education.qld.gov.au/library/edhistory/celebrations/dates/index.html|title=Queensland schools opening dates|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2 February 2018}} 13. ^{{Cite web|url=https://augathelss.eq.edu.au/Pages/default.aspx|title=Augathella State School|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2 February 2018}} 14. ^"Tinaroo artist's sculpture to mark historic town Augathella's entrance", cairns.com.au 15. ^"Giant meat ant invades Augathella", thechronicle.com.au External links{{Commons category-inline|Augathella, Queensland}}
