Geography

Climate

South Kolan has a subtropical climate with wet, hot summers and mild winters.

Flooding

The South Kolan region is situated around the Burnett River, with many properties damaged by the 2011 and 2013 floods, which saw extensive repairs and adjustments made to the approaches of the Cedars Road Bridge Crossing.

Birthamba

The neighbourhood of Birthamba is located in the north-eastern area of South Kolan ({{Coord|-24.9166|152.1833|type:city_region:AU-QLD|name=Birthamba}}); it takes its name from the former Birthamba railway station on the now closed Mount Perry railway line. Birthamba is an Aboriginal word meaning camp.[2]

Koolboo

The neighbourhood of Koolboo is located in the north-western area of South Kolan ({{Coord|-24.9166|152.1500|type:city_region:AU-QLD|name=Koolboo}}); it takes its name from the former Kooboo railway station on the now closed Mount Perry railway line. Koolboo is named after a local Aboriginal clan leader.[3]

History

St. Mary's Anglican Church was dedicated on 11 March 1979 by Archbishop Arnott. It closed during 1994.[4]

Industry

Industry in the district consists of cattle farming, sugar cane production and milling, and commercial fruit and vegetable production. The township, although small, has a convenience store, Kolan South State Primary School, a Police Station and The South Kolan Pub which also has accommodation facilities. South Kolan is also frequented by many residents of surrounding rural areas such as Pine Creek and Gin Gin.

Tourism

South Kolan is home to the Mystery Craters. Discovered in 1971, the origin of the 35 oddly shaped craters has been the subject of controversy.[5]

Education

Kolan South State School is located approximately 25 km from the regional centre of Bundaberg.[6]

Kolan South State School has a rich history, commencing in 1878, and today caters for prep to year 6.[7]

Culture

South Kolan is a close-knit community, as most small communities. The South Kolan football club affectionately known as the "sharkies" hosts home games in football season while still remaining a family atmosphere as well as being open most weekends for socialising and a good time while having a cold beverage.

Arts and Entertainment

Typical of a small rural township, entertainment in South Kolan is centered on local school events and social events at the South Kolan Pub, which hosts live music on a weekly basis. In keeping with the close knit community atmosphere of the area, acts are performed by local artists. Each afternoon patrons are treated to a live comedic show by local resident Ross Griffiths. Karen Griffiths is also an esteemed singer who specializes in harmonizing and frequently performs at the venue.

Sport

Each year the South Kolan Pub hosts it's 'Australia Day Warm Beer and Cold Pie Contest'. The prestigious winning title was awarded to local legend Thomas Griffiths in 2014.[8]
