Geography
The Nogoa River forms the northern boundary of the locality. The Dawson Developmental Road passes through the locality from north-east (Cona Creek) to south-west (Mantuan Downs). The northern and south-western parts of the locality are flatter land (approx 300 metres (980 ft) above sea level) and are used for cattle grazing. The other parts of the locality are more mountainous rising to unnamed peaks of approximately 400 metres (1,300 ft) above sea level; this land is currently undeveloped with the majority of it being within the Squire State Forest and Nandowrie State Forest.[3]
History
The origin of the name Nandowrie may be the Nandowrie Lagoon on the road from Springsure to Tambo.[4]
Tresswell State School opened on 25 January 1971 on the pastoral property "Tresswell".[5][6] In March 1974, the school moved to a new building in its current location. It celebrated its 40th birthday in 2011.[6]
Education
Tresswell State School is a primary (P-6) school for boys and girls operated by the Queensland Government on the Dawson Developmental Road (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.).[7] The Dawson Development Road runs for 245 kilometres (152 mi) between Springsure and Tambo; the school has the only buildings along the road, 56 kilometres (35 mi) from Springsure.[8] It is a one-teacher school with students drawn from local cattle properties.[6] In 2018, it had no students, the numbers have dwindled from 6 in 2015 and 4 in 2017. However, there were pre-school children in the district, likely to attend the school in future years, so the school was only temporarily closed.[9] As at 2022, the school has no students and is officially "open" but "not currently operational".[10]
There is no secondary schooling in the locality. Secondary schooling to Year 10 is available in Springsure; secondary schooling to Year 12 is available in Emerald.[3]
