Dugandan is both a town and a locality in the Scenic Rim Region, Queensland, Australia. In the 2011 census, Dugandan had a population of 395 people. ==History== The name ''Dugandan'' is believed to be an Aboriginal word ''dugai/tugai'' meaning ''mountain spur place''.〔〔 Originally the name was used for a large pastoral run established in 1884, covering a much larger area than the current locality from Boonah to Mount Joyce. As a result, the name Dugandan was used for the present day town of Boonah until the 1880s when it acquired its present name. The Dugandan Provisional School which opened in 1878 was located in (present day) Boonah. This school was renamed Boonah State School in 1895. Dugandan State School opened in (present day) Dugandan on 13 January 1917. It closed in 1966.〔 Dugandan Post Office opened on 11 September 1887 (a receiving office had been open from 1881) and closed in 1929. The Trinity Lutheran church opened on 23 April 1889. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dugandan, Queensland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
