Jondaryan
Jondaryan, a rural town on the Darling Downs, is 140 km west of Brisbane and midway between Toowoomba and Dalby. The name originated from the Jondaryan pastoral station (1842), derived from an Aboriginal expression thought to describe something along way off; possibly a view from the Bunya mountains of a tree line or topographical feature on the black soil plains.
