Doonan: Interesting Information

The area of Doonan was first settled in the late 1800s, with many of the early settlers taking up land on what’s now known as Cash Road. These settlers included Neils Bierregaard (1889) and William Stuart-Russell (1910-1930). Thomas Robinson also arrived in 1898 and in 1906 was granted deeds to 159 acres. He used packhorses to transport his goods from Eumundi Railway Station and earned a living felling timber, mainly from his own land. Sadly he was killed by a falling tree; however his family remained on the property. Joseph, their eldest son, married Marie Stuart Russell and they created their own property below the steep incline along Doonan Road. The hill was known as Misery Hill, due to the problems it caused in wet weather.

In 1898 William Cash and his family selected: their home was built of cedar slabs and they were the first family to use pack horses to bring in banana plants. Their main occupation was timber felling and they owned their own bullock teams. William Cash was a master of many trades, including builder, carpenter, wheelwright, blacksmith, slaughter man and butcher.

Mary and Michael Burke settled on 200 acres of rainforest: the land was cleared for dairying, pigs and cane growing; in addition to growing sweet potatoes and arrowroot for pig feed.

Local school children originally attended Eumundi School but with more families moving into the area the parents applied for a local school at Doonan. The land was donated by Tom Stevens: permission was received to build the new school and Doonan Provisional School opened its doors in 1919. It became a State School in 1920, and finally closed its doors in 1954. In 1915 a railway link was proposed between Eumundi and Tewantin, to run through Doonan: the survey was completed, however the project was abandoned during World War 1.
