The first 65 kilometre section of the Mount Perry railway line from North Bundaberg railway station (originally called Bundaberg station) to Moolboolaman railway station was opened on 19 July 1881.^[4]

In 1887, 32,000 acres (13,000 ha) of land were resumed from the Moolboolaman pastoral run. The land was offered for selection for the establishment of small farms on 17 April 1887.^[5]
