Wallangarra, Queensland

A railway station which is split into two, two schools, two police stations, two pubs, - and a population of a few hundred. So, why has Wallangarra and its neighbouring township of Jennings received so much attention by governments ? Simply put, they are border towns.

The railway station has one end owned by Queensland and the southern end owned by New South Wales. It is a good example of how governments in the past went their own ways,- evidenced with the two different railway gauges.

The railway station looks quite new, however, that is because with the Celebration of Federation there was a general spruce up. Great job too. The town has an excellent information centre, picnic facilities with barbecues and toilets. You will know you're in railway town once you spot the big train welcome sign. This is one of those towns where you get to celebrate New Year's Eve twice. New South Wales operates on Daylight Saving's time.
