History
Danbulla was opened up for timber-cutting and settlement following the construction of a bridge across the Barron River from Kairi in 1914.[11][12][13][14]
Lake Euramoo State School opened on 19 May 1924 and closed on 31 December 1958.[15][16]
Historically, Danbulla developed around Robsons Creek. At its peak during World War II, the district had a population of around 150-200 in about 50 families. Its facilities included the school, a public hall, telephone exchange and sawmill.[4]
During World War II, the need to repel the Japanese invasion of South-East Asia and New Guinea required troops to be trained in jungle warfare and Danbulla was selected as one of the jungle warfare training areas on the Atherton Tableland. An estimated 100,000 to 150,000 troops received training on the tableland.[4]
After World War II, Danbulla farmers experienced problems with drought, poor soil, and the transport to the milk factory in Malanda. The construction of the Tinaroo Dam to impound the Barron River resulted in the inundation of Dunbulla's farms and facilities. Most people had moved away by the time the dam opened in 1958.[4]
