Geography

Mingoola is located on the border of Queensland and New South Wales with the adjacent locality over the border also being called Mingoola.[5]

The Dumaresq River forms part of the border and forms the south-eastern boundary of the locality.[5] The Severn River enters the locality from the north-east (Sundown) and becomes a tributary of the Dumaresq River at the border.[5]

The elevation ranges from 370 to 730 metres (1,210 to 2,400 ft).[5]

The land use is predominantly grazing on native vegetation, except for the lower-lying land around the Severn and Dumaresq Rivers which is used for crop growing.[5]

History

The locality probably takes its name from a pastoral run called Mangoola or Moongoola mentioned in the memoirs of Oscar De Satge.[2]

Land in Mingoola was open for selection on 17 April 1877; 34 square miles (88 km2) were available.[6]
