History
Thomas Archer was the first European to explore the headwaters of the Burnett River in the 1840s.[5]
Cania pastoral station was established in the 1850s raising sheep until 1883, after which beef and dairy cattle were added.[6]
Gold was discovered in the Cania Gorge in 1870.[7] The gold mining town of Cania was established near Three Moon Creek and gold mining continued there until the early 1920s.[6]
Cania Provisional School opened in 1890. It became Cania State School on 1 January 1909. Due to low attendance numbers, it closed in 1930.[8]
The construction of the Cania Dam across Three Moon Creek in 1982 flooded the former town of Cania. However, headstones from the town's cemetery were relocated to the dam lookout.[9] At low water levels, the tops of some of the town's buildings become visible, which last occurred in 2010.[6]
