History
Brit Brit was originally part of Gringegalgona station. In 1920 Gringegalgona was subdivided as part of the Soldier Settlement scheme for soldiers returning from the First World War. Blocks were subdivided into approximately 900 acre sections, and leased to soldiers on the proviso that they were improved, fenced and cleared appropriately.[4]
Brit Brit had two different state schools; the first being "Rosebank farm" school which was built in 1874 and closed in 1910. The second school was Brit Brit State School no. 1332. This school was first run out of the Brit Brit post office in 1927 before a portable building was relocated to Brit Brit in 1928. The school closed in 1948 and the building was moved to Balmoral to become part of Balmoral Consolidated School.[5]
