Jandowae
Jandowae is a town in southern Queensland, Australia. The town is located west of the state capital, Brisbane. At the 2011 census, Jandowae had a population of 1,246.
==History==
The first European settlers arrived in the area in the 1860s and the first documented European birth was in 1866. The town was at first called Jindowie, from the local Aboriginal word for a waterhole. Later, a man called John or Jack Dowiae established a camp and rest area for travellers called the John Dowiae camp. This led to some early settlers using the name Jondowiae. With the coming of the railway in 1914, the name was changed again to Jandowae, to avoid confusion with nearby Jondaryan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 JANDOWAE – our principal town )〕 The Jandowae school was established in 1877 with thirteen students enrolled for the first year. The fertile soil allowed the development of agriculture and combined with a flourishing timber industry saw the expansion of industry and commerce and the establishment of churches, halls and banks.
Jondowaie Post Office opened on 1 January 1890 and was renamed Jandowae in 1913.
The Jandowae war memorial was unveiled by Victory Drury and the Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Dalby, Walter Sparkes, on 25 April 1935.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://monumentaustralia.org.au/themes/conflict/ww1/display/91716-jandowae-war-memorial )〕
