A suburban rail motor service from Toowoomba along the Southern railway line commenced in May, 1917, running to Wyreema, 10 miles away. It was extended to Cambooya and to Willowburn in 1918. They ceased around 1923.〔''The Toowoomba Suburban Rail Motor Service'' Knowles, J.W. Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin, July, 1992 pp170-171〕
==History==
European settlement of the area dates from 1840, when Arthur Hodgson chose of prime land, which he named Eton Vale. In 1843 the New South Wales Commissioner of Crown Lands, Christopher Rolleston, carried out a survey and reserved a site on Eton Vale for a township. He named it Cambooya, a rendering of the Aboriginal word 'yambuya', thought to refer to tubers growing in a water hole. Hodgson resisted the formation of a township, and no development occurred until 1868, when a railway station was built at Cambooya as the railway line was extended from Toowoomba to Warwick. and Cambooya Post Office opened on 12 March 1869.
