Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Dirranbandi is a town and locality in south-west Queensland, located in the Shire of Balonne. It sits on the Castlereagh Highway and the Balonne River. The railway reached Dirranbandi on 22 May 1913. Dirranbandi had the honour of being the destination for the last mail train to operate in Australia.
Dirranbandi is said by some to be an Aboriginal word meaning "swamp abounding in frogs and waterfowl". Although this is possible, there is no evidence in any of the region's languages to support this. Other possibilities include a Yuwaaliyaay dialect placename, Dhurrunbandaay ("hairy caterpillars move in single file") and Yuwaalaraay noun, dhirrinbaa, meaning "bad weather camp, on high ground". Did You Know: Actor Ray Meagher grew up near Dirrabandi. He is best known for playing Alf Stewart on 'Home and Away', and credits one of his character's catchphrases "Stone the flamin' crows!" to a man who was a stock and station agent in town.
