Rangemore is a rural locality in the Toowoomba Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Rangemore had "no people or a very low population".[1]
The Great Dividing Range forms the north-eastern and eastern boundaries of the locality. The locality is within the Murray-Darling drainage basin and is specifically within the catchment of the Balonne-Condamine River.[3] Mount Mocatta lies close near the north-eastern boundary close to the range (26°59′05″S 151°41′19″E / 26.9846°S 151.6886°E) and rises 825 metres (2,707 ft) above sea level.[3][4][5]
The land use is predominantly grazing on native vegetation with some crop growing in the south.[6]
History
Rangemore State School opened on 17 March 1913.[7] In 1917 it was downgraded to a half-time provisional school in conjunction with King's Tent Provisional School (meaning the two schools shared a single teacher). In 1918 King's Tent Provisional School closed and Rangemore once again became a full-time state school. It was finally closed circa 1962.[8]
