Burenda, Queensland : ウィキペディア英語版 | Augathella
Augathella is a town in western Queensland, Australia, and is part of the Shire of Murweh. Augathella lies on the Matilda Highway, is north of the town of Charleville, and west of Brisbane (Queensland's capital). The town lies on the banks of the Warrego River. At the 2006 census, Augathella had a population of 395. ==History== The town came into being initially as a resting place for bullock teams lying at the convergence of three bullock tracks from Morven, Tambo, and Charleville. Originally called Burenda it was renamed Ellangowan (still the name of the local watering hole) and when gazetted in 1883 called Augathella. This is apparently an Indigenous Australian word meaning "camp on a waterhole", referring the Warrego River.〔〔http://www.wikiaustralia.com/destination/9005744/〕 A service centre sprang up to service their needs and the needs of the burgeoning grazing industry. Burenda Post Office opened on 1 September 1869. It was renamed Ellangowan in 1877 and Augathella in 1883. Augathella is the destination of cattle drovers in the Australian folk song Brisbane Ladies. This song is alternately called "Augathella Station".
