Aboriginal people travelled from the Bunya Mountains to trade bunya nuts for shellfish. It is believed Aboriginal people inhabited the area for over 6,000 years.[3] Edgar Thomas Aldridge established the Booral Homestead in the 1850s.[4]EconomyThe proximity to the Great Sandy Strait enables salt water aquaculture, including the farming of fish, sea cucumbers and soft shell crabs.[5] Community associationsThe Booral Community Association Inc is a group of volunteers who seek to promote the interests of the community at all levels of government. A major issue for the group has been the restriction of foreshore access to only certain property holders rather than to the general public.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite QPN|46633|Booral|accessdate=28 April 2014}} 2. ^1 {{Census 2011 AUS|id= SSC30203 |name=Booral (SSC)|accessdate=28 April 2014|quick=on}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=A Brief History of Booral|url=http://booral.org.au/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=52%3A-Breif-History-of-Booral&catid=34%3Ageneral-information&Itemid=1|publisher=Wendy Reed|accessdate=28 April 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Booral|url=http://www.queenslandplaces.com.au/booral|work=Queensland Places|publisher=Centre for the Government of Queensland, University of Queensland|accessdate=28 April 2014}} 5. ^{{cite news|last=Mcrae|first=Toni|title=Fish farmer can hatch new plan|url=http://www.frasercoastchronicle.com.au/news/fish-farmer-can-hatch-new-plan/631572/|accessdate=28 April 2014|newspaper=Fraser Coast Chronicle|date=10 September 2010}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Booral Identities|url=http://booral.org.au/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47%3Apeople-of-booral-queensland&catid=34%3Ageneral-information&Itemid=1|publisher=Wendy Reed|accessdate=28 April 2014}} External links
