Boonah railway station
In 1887, the railway line from Ipswich was extended to the area, with the name Boonah given to a rail siding at Blumbergville located one stop before the terminus at the settlement of nearby Dugandan.

In 1888 Blumbergville was renamed as Boonah, and was served by Boonah railway station in Yeates Street. It was 34 miles 65 chains (56.0 km) from Ipswich at an elevation of 332 feet (101 m) [27.9969°S 152.6816°E].
