History & geography

History

The name Builyan is an Aboriginal word, meaning stone curlew. An area of 4 acres at Many Peaks was proclaimed a cemetery reserve in 1910. Builyan State School opened on 4 December 1922. Builyan Post Office opened on 1 July 1927 (a receiving office had been open from 1912) and closed on 13 August 1993. Builyan Hall was opened in August 1950, built from local timbers with a dance floor of spotted gum. A ceremony at the hall attended by 500-600 people switched on mains electricity to the town on 30 October 1954. The former Gladstone to Monto railway runs through the centre of Builyan.
