Malmoe is a rural locality in the North Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Malmoe had a population of 37 people.[1]

Geography

[edit ]

The Burnett River enters the locality from the north (Grosvenor) and exits to the south (Coonambula / O'Bil Bil), forming a section of the southern boundary of the locality. Two of its tributaries, A Creek and O'Bil Bil Creek form part of the locality's south-western and south-eastern boundaries respectively.[3] [4] [5]

Malmoe has one mountain in the east of the locality, called Spring Hill (25°28′53′′S 151°13′48′′E / 25.4813°S 151.2301°E / -25.4813; 151.2301 (Spring Hill) ), which rises to 296 metres (971 ft) above sea level.[6] [7]

The Burnett Highway enters the locality from the north (Grosvenor) and exits to the south-east (O'Bil Bil).[8]

The land use is predominantly irrigated crop growing around the Burnett River, but otherwise is grazing on native vegetation.[9]

History

[edit ]

The name Malmoe is derived from the name of a pastoral run name, operated in 1850s by Archer brothers, a family with connections to Scotland and Norway. It is suspected that it refers to the Swedish city of Malmo.[2]

The Malmoe Apostolic Church opened in 1913, part of the Apostolic Church of Queensland. It was demolished in 1969 to be replaced by a new church building in 1970.[10] [11]

Malmoe State School opened in August 1914.[12] [13] [14] It was on the northern side of Augustines Road (25°32′34′′S 151°13′51′′E / 25.54282°S 151.23094°E / -25.54282; 151.23094 (Malmoe State School (former)) ).[15] In 1925, it was relocated to a new site near the O'Bil Bil railway station.[16] [17] In 1928, it was renamed O'Bil Bil State School. It closed circa 1964. It was at 80 O'Bil Bil Road (25°30′52′′S 151°12′52′′E / 25.51442°S 151.21442°E / -25.51442; 151.21442 (O'Bil Bil State School (former)) ).[18] [19]

The Mungar Junction to Monto railway line opened in stages with the section from Mundubbera to Ceratodus opening on 26 April 1924,[20] with Malmoe railway station serving the locality (25°28′40′′S 151°12′10′′E / 25.4778°S 151.2027°E / -25.4778; 151.2027 (Malmoe railway station) ). The last train on the railway line was in 2008 and in 2012 it was announced the line was officially closed; the station is now abandoned.[21] [22]
