Mowbullan
Description
History
Mowbullan is a rural locality in the Western Downs Region, Queensland.
The locality of Mowbullan is completely within and surrounded by the locality of Bunya Mountains, but does not form part of the National Park. This enclosure within another locality is unusual in Queensland and contrary to the Queensland Government's normal policies.
The locality takes its name from the town of Mount Mowbullan and mountain of the same name. The name comes from the Waka language words 'mau' meaning head, and 'balan' meaning bald, referring to the treeless nature of the mountain.
In the 2021 census, Mowbullan had a population of 12 people.
