}}Wooroolin is a town and a locality in the South Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia.[1][2] In the {{CensusAU|2016}}, Wooroolin had a population of 315 people.[3]

Geography

Wooroolin is on the Bunya Highway, {{convert|243|km|mi}} north west of the state capital, Brisbane.

Immediately to the east of the town is the Wooroolin Wetland, which is classified as a palustrine wetland, a non-tidal, inland, seasonally flooded, vegetated swamp.[4]

History

Wooroolin Provisional School (also known as Wooroolin Lagoon Provisional School) opened on 18 February 1901 and become Wooroolin State School on 1 January 1909.[5][6]

Wooroolin West Provisional School opened on 2 April 1929; it closed at some time between 1944 and 1949.[6]

In 1961, Wooroolin hosted the Wooroolin – Tingoora R.S.L. Highland Gathering and Sports Day.[7]

At the {{CensusAU|2006}}, Wooroolin had a population of 164.[8]

After successive floods in 2011 and 2013, the wetland burst its banks and Wooroolin was flooded for the first time in recorded history. As at 2015, the wetland was still completely full and resembled a large, shallow lake.

Education

Wooroolin State School is a government primary (Prep-6) school for boys and girls at 34 Frederick Street ({{coord|-26.4091|151.8120|type:edu_region:AU-QLD|name=Wooroolin State School}}).[9][10] In 2017, the school had an enrolment of 44 students with 5 teachers (3 full-time equivalent) and 7 non-teaching staff (4 full-time equivalent).[11]

There are no secondary schools in Wooroolin. The nearest secondary schools are in Kingaroy and Murgon.[12]

Community groups

The Wooroolin branch of the Queensland Country Women's Association meets at Lot 41 Frederick Street.[13]
