The D'Aguilar Highway passes through from south-east to north-west.[2] A bora ring, accessible to the public, is in the locality.[3]
History
The locality name is derived from the Waka language, Bujiebara dialect, Gowrburra clan words "koala" and "buani" (meaning sleeping), as the area was a camp site on Aboriginal walking tracks to the Bunya Mountains.[1] A ralway station, named for the locality, was on the former Nanango railway line.
