Geography

The Condamine River forms part of the locality's south-east border with Felton South before crossing the locality towards the west where it splits into two branches (27°51′56″S 151°35′33″E / 27.86556°S 151.59238°E / -27.86556; 151.59238 (Condamine River (split into North Branch))). The southern branch remains known as the Condamine River and the northern branch is known as the Condamine River (north branch) and is presumably the origin of the locality name. The two branches rejoin on the boundary of Cecil Plains and Tipton (27°29′11″S 151°13′17″E / 27.48629°S 151.22145°E / -27.48629; 151.22145 (Condamine River (confluence with North Branch))) approximately 55 kilometres (34 mi) to the north-west.[2]

The mountain Woolly Butt is in the north-east of the locality (27°47′36″S 151°39′06″E / 27.7932°S 151.6516°E / -27.7932; 151.6516 (Woolly Butt)) rising to 498 metres (1,634 ft) above sea level.[4]

The land use is predominantly crop growing with some grazing on native vegetation.[2]

History

In 1877, 17,500 acres (7,100 ha) of land was resumed from the North Branch pastoral run; it was offer for selection on 17 April 1877.[5]

The second North Branch State School opened on 11 November 1926 with an official opening ceremony on Saturday 23 April 1927. The school was on a 4-acre (1.6 ha) block of land donated by George Porter, part of a block of land selected by his father Mr J Porter 55 years earlier. The school reused buildings from the closed Spring Valley school and the Waratah school (at The Gap).[10] The school closed on 3 November 1958.[8][9] The school was at 55 Kincora Road (27°48′16″S 151°37′49″E / 27.8045°S 151.6302°E / -27.8045; 151.6302 (North Branch State School (former))).[11][2]
