The Mulligan Highway traverses the locality from the south to the west, passing the western edge of the town. The Tablelands railway line traverses the locality from the south to the east, passing the eastern edge of the town with the Biboohra railway station serving the town.[3][4] The Barron River flows through the locality from south to east passing to the immediate east of the town. The Bilwon State Forest is in the south-east of the locality.[4] Most of the locality is used for farming with both grazing cattle and cropping, including mangoes, turf, and sugar cane.[5] HistoryThe town takes its name from its railway station, which in turn was named in 1884. It is believed that Biboohra is an Aboriginal name for the Barron Falls.[1] Biboohra Provisional School opened on 20 January 1902, becoming Biboohra State School on 1 January 1909.[6] EducationBiboohra State School is a co-educational primary (P-6) school operated by the Queensland Government in Petersen Street.
