Canning Creek is a locality split between the Goondiwindi Region and the Toowoomba Region in Queensland, Australia.[1][2]
History
The locality takes its name from the creek name, which in turn was named in 1827 by Allan Cunningham after Sir George Canning, the Prime Minister of Great Britain in 1927.[1]
The Canning Creek Provisional School opened on 15 November 1885 and became Canning Creek State School on 1 January 1909. The school closed on a number of occasionals due to low student numbers. On 18 April 1922 it became a half-time school sharing the teacher with Glenside State School, with both schools closing on 20 June 1922.[3]
