History
[edit]The first industry in the Crows Nest district was timber cutting. The site where the town is located became a rest stop for bullock teams carrying logs to sawmills in or near Toowoomba[4][5] The track they followed along the top of the Great Dividing Range eventually became the New England Highway. Settlement occurred along this road and to the west as land became available. Pechey, a small village on the road to Toowoomba, was named for Edward Wilmot Pechey, who owned sawmills in Crows Nest and Toowoomba.[6][7]
Goombungee pastoral run was established in 1854.[8] The main homestead area soon became a small town, and roads were cut from there to provide access to sources of supply, markets for products, and outstations of the property. One such road linked the town to the then Toowoomba–Crows Nest Road at Pechey.
Rosalie Plains pastoral run was established in the 1840s.[9] It included outstations further north at Kulpi[10] and Peranga.[11] As at Goombungee, roads were cut to access suppliers, markets, and outstations. In 1877 11,500 acres (4,700 ha) was resumed from Rosalie Plains and made available for selection to enable the establishment of many small farms.[12] This in turn increased the need for reliable roads.
In 1889 the town that is now Maclagan was surveyed,[13] and a butter and cheese factory was established in Quinalow.[14] Reliable road connections from these towns were needed to provide access to markets and suppliers.
The former Shire of Rosalie, which existed from 1879[15] to 2008, was based in Goombungee. It was responsible for turning the original bush tracks of the area into gazetted roads, and for developing and maintaining them.
