Takilberan is a rural locality in the Bundaberg Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Takilberan had a population of 47 people.[1]
Geography
[edit]The locality is bounded to the north-east by the shores of Lake Monduran, an impoundment of the Kolan River by the Fred Haigh Dam. The lake itself is within the locality of Lake Monduran.[3]
Takilberan has the following mountains:
- Mount Landsborough in the north of the locality (24°51′33″S 151°44′06″E / 24.8592°S 151.7351°E), rising 218 metres (715 ft) above sea level[4][5]
- Black Mountain in the west of the locality (24°54′33″S 151°38′24″E / 24.9093°S 151.6399°E), 489 metres (1,604 ft)[4][6]
- Mount Takilberan in the south-west of the locality on the boundary with neighbouring Wonbah Forest (24°55′44″S 151°38′05″E / 24.9290°S 151.6346°E), 560 metres (1,840 ft)[4][7]
The Bruce Highway enters the locality from the east (Monduran) and exits to the north (Kolonga).[8]
Takilberan Creek rises in the neighbouring locality of Gaeta, just west of the north-west corner of Takilberan. It meanders south through Gaeta and Wonbah Forest before entering the locality of Takilberan from the south-west and then flows north, exiting the locality to the north near the Bruce Highway. It ultimately flows into Lake Monduran.[3]
The land use is almost entirely grazing on native vegetation.[9]
History
[edit]The locality presumably takes its name from the Mount Takilberan, which is derived from the Koreng Goreng language, meaning a hanging rock or stone.[7][10][11]
Takilberan Rock Provisional School opened on 17 September 1917 and closed on 20 September 1922.[12][13]
Demographics
[edit]In the 2016 census, Takilberan had a population of 21 people.[14]
In the 2021 census, Takilberan had a population of 47 people.[1]
Education
[edit]There are no schools in Takilberan. The nearest government primary schools are Gin Gin State School in Gin Gin to the south-east and Mount Perry State School in Mount Perry to the south. The nearest government secondary school is Gin Gin State High School, also in Gin Gin.[15]
Amenities
[edit]Although the boat ramp into Lake Monduran is on the foreshores of the lake and hence in the locality of Lake Monduran (24°52′26″S 151°50′42″E / 24.87397°S 151.84512°E), the only access to the boat ramp is from Monduran Dam Boat Ramp Road via Monduran Dam Road in Takilberan. The boat ramp is managed by the Bundaberg Regional Council.[8][16]
