Dargal Road is a rural locality in the Maranoa Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, Dargal Road had a population of 152 people.[1]

Geography

The locality is bounded to the south by the Warrego Highway and Western railway line, by Bungeworgorai Creek to the west, and by Richardson Lane to the east. The land is predominantly used for cattle grazing.[3]

The locality presumably takes its name from the road of the same name which traverses the locality from the north-east (Roma) to the north-west (Bungeworgorai).[3]

History

Wangary Provisional School opened circa 1898 operating as a half-time provisional school in conjunction with Mount Beagle Provisional School (meaning the two schools shared a single teacher).[4] In 1902, it became a full-time provisional school.[5] On 1 January 1909, it became Wangary State School.[6] In 1910, tenders were called for a new school building.[7][8] It closed in 1930.[9] The school was at 709 Bungeworgorai Lane (26°31′43″S 148°43′02″E / 26.52870°S 148.71713°E / -26.52870; 148.71713 (Wangary State School (former))).[10][3]

Education

There are no schools in the locality. The nearest primary and secondary school is Roma State College in Roma to the east.[3]
