Bambaroo, Queensland  Bambaroo is a locality in the Shire of Hinchinbrook, Queensland, Australia. Bambaroo has two distinct parts. The centre and north-east is low-lying flat land (approx 20 metres above sea level), drained by numerous small creeks which flow into the Coral Sea in neighbouring Orient and Coolbie. This freehold land is predominantly used to grow sugarcane. The Bruce Highway and the North Coast railway line traverse the locality from east to north through this flat part of the locality with Bambaroo railway station servicing the locality. A cane tramway delivers harvested sugarcane to the local sugar mills at Victoria Plantation and Mackenade. The south-western part of the locality is mountainous and undeveloped, rising up to 980 metres above sea level. This land is protected as Paluma Range National Park. Bambaroo State School opened on 3 November 1924, although it was not officially opened until 19 May 1925 by Thomas Wilson, the Minister of Public Instruction. It closed on 31 December 2016. Bambaroo is one of the Australian place names mentioned in the second verse of the song "I've Been Everywhere" written by Australian country singer Geoff Mack in 1959, and made popular by Lucky Starr in 1962.
