Thangool Recreation Reserve, QLD, Gangulu Country
Thangool Recreation Reserve stands on the traditional lands of the Gangulu People.
The Thangool Recreation Reserve clubhouse/hall was originally the Biloela Golf clubhouse. The whole building, complete with function room, bar and cold room, was moved to Thangool in 1983. The Thangool Advancement Association has held monthly meetings at the town School of Arts since 1953. When the building was listed for demolition, the committee made plans to move to the current clubhouse. A few years later, a kitchen was added. Recently, the building was fully air-conditioned. It is now one of the few venues in the Callide Valley with function room, kitchen and bar facilities. The Thangool community celebrated its centenary in 2025!
Thangool means ‘Possum’ in the language of the Gangulu People.
Meals are available from either of the two pubs in town – both located on the highway – you can’t miss them!
