**Kureen** is a rural [locality](/source/Suburbs_and_localities_(Australia)) in the [Tablelands Region](/source/Tablelands_Region), [Queensland](/source/Queensland), Australia.[3] In the [2021 census](/source/2021_Australian_census), Kureen had a population of 158 people.[2]

## Geography

The [Johnstone River](/source/Johnstone_River) forms the south-eastern boundary of the locality, while the [Malanda - Atherton Road](/source/Malanda_-_Atherton_Road) forms the south-west boundary of the locality.[4]

The Millaa Milla branch of the [Tablelands railway line](/source/Tablelands_railway_line%2C_Queensland) enters the locality from the north-east ([Peeramon](/source/Peeramon)), passes through the Kureen railway station ([17°20′04″S 145°35′46″E / 17.3345°S 145.5962°E / -17.3345; 145.5962 (Kureen railway station (former))](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Kureen&params=17.3345_S_145.5962_E_type:railwaystation_region:AU-QLD&title=Kureen+railway+station+%28former%29)) in the centre of the locality and then exits to the south ([Malanda](/source/Malanda%2C_Queensland)). That branch line is now closed and the station dismantled.[5]

The land use is a mixture of [grazing](/source/Pastoralism) on native vegetation, crop growing, and [rural residential](/source/Rural_residential) housing.[6]

## History

The locality takes its name from the Kureen railway station, which was assigned by the [Queensland Railways Department](/source/Queensland_Railways_Department) on 25 April 1910, and is an Aboriginal word, meaning *little fissure* or *crack*.[3]

Kureen State School opened on 5 February 1912 and closed in 1958.[7] It was on the eastern side of Peeramon Road (approx [17°19′56″S 145°35′40″E / 17.3323°S 145.5944°E / -17.3323; 145.5944 (Kureen State School (former))](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Kureen&params=17.3323_S_145.5944_E_type:edu_region:AU-QLD&title=Kureen+State+School+%28former%29)).[8][9][10]
