Callide, Queensland
Download coordinates as:
Callide is a rural town and locality in the Shire of Banana, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, the locality of Callide had a population of 80 people.
The Dawson Highway enters the locality from the east (Dumgree) and exits to the south-east (Mount Murchison); it does not pass through or near the town.
The Moura railway line enters the locality from the west (Jambin), passes through the town, and exits the locality to the south (Dakenba). Historically, the town was served by the Callide railway station (24°18′06″S 150°27′48″E / 24.3018°S 150.4634°E), but it is now abandoned.
The town of Callide is the south-west of the locality on the boundary with Jambin near the railway station. It has had little development.
The land use is a mix of crop growing and grazing on native vegetation.
The town takes its name from the creek and pastoral run, originally used by pioneer pastoralist Charles Archer in 1853, who possibly intended to use the Greek word "kalos" meaning good, as a description of the country, which was corrupted to "Calleide" on a later survey.
The Kilburnie Homestead was established in 1885.
