Geography

The Bruce Highway forms the southern boundary of the locality. The North Coast railway line enters the locality from the east (Cape Cleveland) and roughly follows Nome's southern boundary before exiting to the west (Julago).[3]

There were a number of railway stations in the locality, all now abandoned (from north to south):

Oolbun is a neighbourhood on the northern boundary in the locality (19°19′30″S 146°55′41″E / 19.3251°S 146.9281°E / -19.3251; 146.9281 (Oolbun (neighbourhood))).[5][3]

Nome has an area of 53.1 square kilometers and an average elevation of 39 meters above sea level.[9]

The land use is predominantly grazing on native vegetation with a number of areas of rural residential housing. There is also a small amount of crop growing in the south-east of the locality.[10]

History

The locality's name is derived the from railway station name, which in turn is believed to be a corruption of NQME (North Queensland Meat Export) Siding.[2][11]

Alligator Creek Meatworks, 1917

Oolbun was the neighbourhood where the Alligator Creek meatworks (approx 19°19′30″S 146°56′23″E / 19.3249°S 146.9397°E / -19.3249; 146.9397 (Alligator Creek meatworks (former))) and the housing for many of its employees was located. North Queensland Boiling Down and Meat Processing Company established the meatworks in 1879, but the 1884 drought resulted in its closure. In 1890, the meatworks reopened as a meat extract businesses, later becoming a freezing plant in 1914 supplying frozen meat during World War I. In 1914, a railway line was built connecting the meatworks which was serviced by the Oolbun railway station to the Nome railway station on the North Coast railway line. The meatworks closed in 1966. The railway line and Oolbun railway station are no longer extant.[12][13][14]

Oolbun Provisional School opened in 1917.[15] It closed circa 1932.[16][17] It was part of the complex of buildings at the meatworks.[18]
