Bogie is a rural locality in the Whitsunday Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Bogie had a population of 207 people.[1]
The terrain is mountainous and relatively undeveloped. The principal land use is grazing on native vegetation.[3]
The Bowen Developmental Road passes through the middle of the locality from the south-west (Springlands) to the north-east (Bowen). The Newlands railway system roughly follows the same route as the road through the locality with Binbee railway station serving the locality (20°18′32″S 147°55′34″E / 20.3088°S 147.9262°E).[3][4]
History
Twenty-five Mile Camp Provisional School (also known as Aberdeen Provisional School) opened circa July 1919. In 1920, it was renamed Bogie Range Provisional School. It closed circa 1922.[5]
On 4 December 1956, the Queensland Government opened for selection a grazing lot of 56,117 acres (22,710 ha) being portions 33 and 34, parish of Adaleigh, County of Herbert in the Bowen Land Agent's district and the Shire of Wangaratta (20°25′49″S 147°57′57″E / 20.4302°S 147.9658°E). It was west of the Bogie Range and the Bogie River flowed through the property.[6] The property is known as Reedy Creek as at 2020.[3]
On 4 August 2022, a triple murder occurred on a cattle property in the Bogie area. One additional person was shot in the abdomen by the perpetrator, but survived the attack.[7] The suspect was the neighbour of the victims and apparently there was some property dispute.[8]
