A Look Back in Time

A long time ago, in 1902, a special train line called the Beaudesert Shire Tramway ran right through Tabooba. There was even a train station here called Tabooba Junction. It was an important spot because the train tracks split here, with one path going to Rathdowney and another to Lamington.

Tabooba also had its own school! Tabooba State School opened on July 24, 1911, but it closed down on August 24, 1942.
