Womina, Queensland

Womaina is immediately north of the town of Warwick. The Cunningham Highway enters the locality from the east (Sladevale) and forms the eastern boundary of the locality; it exits to the south (Warwick).^[3]

The terrain varies from 460 to 590 metres (1,510 to 1,940 ft) above sea level with the land in the south of the locality being lower and the land in the north higher.^[4] The land use is mixed with some residential development (both suburban and rural residential) in the south of the locality (an extension of the Warwick suburban area), some crop growing, and some grazing on native vegetation.^[5]

Opened on Saturday 30 September 1911, the Maryvale railway line branched from the Southern main line at Killarney Junction (now named Mill Hill) and stretched about 30 kilometres to Maryvale via Womina, Sladevale, Campbell's Plains, Freestone, Clintonvale and Gladfield. It was anticipated to be a segment of the Via Recta railway, but that project was never completed.^[6][7][8] Womina was served by the Womina railway station on the north-western corner of the Cunningham Highway and Womina Willowvale Road (approx 28.19056°S 152.04557°E / -28.19056; 152.04557 (Womina railway station (former))).^[7][9] The line closed on 1 November 1964.^[8][10]

The locality was officially named and bounded on 5 September 2003. It takes its name from a former railway station name, which is Aboriginal word meaning "one".^[2][11]
