Crawford & The Booie Range
Crawford holds significance as the first small town stop along the South Burnett Rail Trail after departing from Kingaroy. The town's name is derived from the Crawford railway station, which was named by the Queensland Railways Department in 1904. It honors engineer Hugh Ralston Crawford, who played a pivotal role in supervising the construction of the Wondai-Kingaroy railway line.
This historical connection highlights the importance of railways in the development of the South Burnett region and underscores Crawford's role as a railway stop along the route. Today, Crawford serves as a point of interest for visitors exploring the South Burnett Rail Trail, offering a glimpse into the area's rich railway heritage.
