Description

Description

Education has always played a vital role in the history of the Western Downs. Children from across the region have attended schools in open air buildings, school grounds surrounded by prickly pear, or in temporary structures built to educate children after devastating school fires.

The evolution of education across the Western Downs has seen schools open and close due to fluctuating populations in our localities, children travelling to school on horses or school buses, and the establishment of large schools in our towns.

This collection of images explores the schools of the Western Downs and remembers the children and teachers who attended them.

If you know more about any of the images in this collection, suggest an edit.
