Geography
The Pechey-Maclagan Road enters the locality from the south (Balgowan), travels north and then west through the locality, exiting to the west (Brymaroo). The Oakey–Cooyar Road enters the locality from the north (Kulpi), intersects with Pechey-Maclagan Road and continues south on the same route as the Pechey-Maclagan Road to Balgowan.[3]
The land use is a mix of crop growing and grazing on native vegetation.[3]
History
The locality takes its name from an early pastoral run that was held by Robert Ramsay in the late 1840s.[2]
In 1877, 11,500 acres (4,700 ha) were resumed from the Rosalie Plains pastoral run and offered for selection on 17 April 1877.[4]
Ashlea Provisional School opened in January 1907. On 1 January 1909, it became Ashlea State School, being renamed Rosalie Plains State School in 1916.
