Tipton is a rural locality in the Toowoomba Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Tipton had a population of 37 people.[1]
Geography
[edit]The Condamine River (North Branch) enters the locality in the south-east (Nangwee) and the southern and south-western boundary of the locality loosely flows its meandering flow, until its confluence with the main branch of the Condamine River, after which the river forms the western and north-western boundary of the locality, before exiting to the north-west (Springvale / St Ruth).[3]
Dalby–Cecil Plains Road enters the locality from the north (St Ruth) and exits to the west (Cecil Plains).[4][5]
The land use is predominantly crop growing with some grazing on native vegetation.[6]
History
[edit]The locality was named after a small village in England.[2]
Tipton Provisional School opened on 4 August 1884.[7] It closed circa 1898 due to insufficient student numbers,[8] but had reopened by 1904.[9] On 1 January 1909, it became Tipton State School. It closed on 31 October 1911. In 1919, tenders were called for the sale and removal of the school building [10] In 1928, local people began to campaign for a school,[11] resulting in the purchase of a 5-acre (2.0 ha) site and the relocation of the Edgefield State School building from Irvingdale.[12] Tipton State School re-opened on 1 April 1929.[13][14] It closed permanently on 19 September 1948.[15][16][17] It was on a 5-acre (2.0 ha) site on the western side of Dalby Cecil Plains Road (approx 27°25′51″S 151°15′26″E / 27.43077°S 151.25720°E).[18][19]
