Geography
[edit ]The Gladstone - Monto Road enters the locality from the north (Mungungo) and exits to the west (Monto).[3]
Monal Creek also enters the locality from the north and exits to the west, flowing parallel and west of the main road.[3]
The land use is predominantly grazing on native vegetation with some irrigated crop growing close to the creek.[3]
History
[edit ]The district was originally known as Monal Creek. In 1925, Monal Creek Provisional School opened, becoming Monal Creek State School in 1927.[4] [5]
The final stage of the Byellee to Monto railway line was completed in 1931 with the district being served by the Bukali railway station (24°48′28′′S 151°09′20′′E / 24.8079°S 151.1555°E / -24.8079; 151.1555 (Bukali railway station) ).[6]
The locality takes its present name from the railway station. It is believed to be an Aboriginal word meaning either "cold" or "bad smell".[2] In June 1936, the school was renamed Bukali State School to reflect its proximity to the Bukali railway station. It closed permanently in 1963.[4] [5] It was to east of the Bukali railway station and Gladstone-Monto Road (approx 24°48′35′′S 151°09′25′′E / 24.80963°S 151.15696°E / -24.80963; 151.15696 (Bukali State School (former)) ).[7] [3]
