What happened to the old bush schools?

Key points

• A local historical society is working to trace the history of small bush schools in the old Beaudesert Shire. The Jimboomba Timber Reserve Provisional School opened in 1899 near Gittens Road in what is now Riverbend.
• It was later named Martindale, then moved across the Logan River in 1922 and reopened as Cedar Grove State School before closing in 1965.
• The Lily Vale Provisional School, in the area now known as Cedar Vale, is considered a likely match for the Scrub Creek school.
