Kureen is a rural locality in the Tablelands Region, Queensland, Australia.[3] In the 2021 census, Kureen had a population of 158 people.[2]

Geography

The Johnstone River forms the south-eastern boundary of the locality, while the Malanda - Atherton Road forms the south-west boundary of the locality.[4]

The Millaa Milla branch of the Tablelands railway line enters the locality from the north-east (Peeramon), passes through the Kureen railway station (17°20′04″S 145°35′46″E / 17.3345°S 145.5962°E / -17.3345; 145.5962 (Kureen railway station (former))) in the centre of the locality and then exits to the south (Malanda). That branch line is now closed and the station dismantled.[5]

The land use is a mixture of grazing on native vegetation, crop growing, and rural residential housing.[6]

History

The locality takes its name from the Kureen railway station, which was assigned by the Queensland Railways Department on 25 April 1910, and is an Aboriginal word, meaning little fissure or crack.[3]

Kureen State School opened on 5 February 1912 and closed in 1958.[7] It was on the eastern side of Peeramon Road (approx 17°19′56″S 145°35′40″E / 17.3323°S 145.5944°E / -17.3323; 145.5944 (Kureen State School (former))).[8][9][10]

In the 2021 census, Kureen had a population of 158 people.[2]

Education

There are no schools in Kureen. The nearest government primary and secondary schools are Malanda State School and Malanda State High School, both in neighbouring Malanda to the south.[12]
