Coolana is another tiny settled area near the Warrego (Brisbane-Toowoomba) highway. According to
the former Esk Shire
Council website "Coolana was once known as Hillside and there was a Hillside receiving office
from 1898 to about 1916. Another receiving office was opened in 1923, however the name was changed
to the Coolana receiving office to avoid confusion with another Hillside district south of Ipswich.
No English meaning is known for Coolana which is thought to be Aboriginal and was suggested by local
residents. ".
There's much more to Coolana so I'll do a more thorough photographic investigation next time I'm
nearby.

One of the features of the Coolana area is St Johns Lutheran Church.
