Sarina Range, Queensland

History

The name Sarina Range is probably derived from the Sarina Inlet, which in turn is believed to be named by surveyor William Charles Borlase Wilson, using a name from Greek mythology indicating enchantress.[1]

East Funnel Creek Provisional School opened on 23 June 1941. In 1950 it became East Funnel Creek State School. It closed in 1963.[2]
