Inglewood (Qld), QLD
By Lauren McCaleb · Reviewed by Dylan Duncan ·
Inglewood is a town on the southern Darling Downs of Queensland, set on the Cunningham Highway beside Macintyre Brook about 260 kilometres south-west of Brisbane. It lies in the country of the Bigambul people, and its name is said to join 'ingol', an Aboriginal word for cypress pine, with the English 'wood', after a stand of trees by the brook; the settlement was earlier called Pariagna. Surveyed in 1862, it gained a post office in 1866 and a railway connection by 1908. Grain, grazing, timber and six decades of tobacco growing built the local economy, more recently joined by olives. Nearby Lake Coolmunda, completed in 1968, draws anglers and campers.
