Ambulance station at Cunnamulla ca. 1920

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The QATB service at Charleville was so well-respected far and wide that subsequently Brigades were established at Blackall and Cunnamulla in 1923. The service at Cunnamulla was absorbed by the Cunnamulla Hospital Board during the 1937-1938 financial year. Old news items and discussions with pioneers of south-west Queensland reveal that in the early days, the ambulance would respond to calls to attend to patients in the Channel country and officers would be away from the Centre for periods of up to four days. Today the Charleville-based Flying Doctor does the round trip in four hours. Source: www.ambulance.qld.gov.au/docs/history/Charleville.pdf

Side view of the Cunnamulla Post Office, ca. 1890

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Cunnamulla is located 787 km west of Brisbane via Toowoomba and St George. It is 120 km north of the New South Wales border and 188 m above sea-level. The word 'Cunnamulla' is widely accepted to be an Aboriginal term, probably from the Kunja language, meaning either 'big waterhole' or 'long stretch of water'. The town was named by Cobb & Co when they established a base at the local waterhole. Post Office Located on Stockyard Street, the Post Office was built in 1890 on the site where Cobb & Co used to maintain their stock. It has not been changed and looks as it did when it was first built. Source: www.aussietowns.com.au/town/cunnamulla-qld#:~:text
