The former Rocky Hill State School building will soon be on the move again … this time to Yarraman’s Heritage House complex in Millar Street.<\/p>\n

The tiny wooden building was originally located at Rocky Creek, north of Yarraman (on the eastern side of the D’Aguilar Highway, just past the private road to Tarong Power Station).<\/p>\n

According to the Education Queensland, the school opened in 1924 and closed in 1963.<\/p>\n

Heritage House historian Judy Brand and her husband Neville take up the tale:<\/p>\n

“When it was originally shifted in the early 1960s it was privately paid for for by local citizens,” Judy said.<\/p>\n

“Some teachers and farmers were involved in it.”<\/p>\n

But since then, the building has “upped stumps” a couple of times.<\/p>\n

At one stage it was located near the Bowls Club in Margaret Street, Neville said; and at another time it was down near the Over 50s clubhouse.<\/p>\n

Currently, it is situated at the intersection of Emmert Street and Margaret Street on the corner of Errol Munt Park.<\/p>\n

It has served as a storage area for the cricket club, been used as a meeting room by a youth group, and for some years housed the local Meals on Wheels association.<\/p>\n

At last month’s Toowoomba Regional Council meeting, councillors accepted a recommendation that the building be moved to Heritage House.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yarraman Historical Society president Helene Johnson said Council was concerned about vandalism at the building.<\/p>\n

She said there were still local residents who remembered attending school at Rocky Creek and were keen to have the building preserved.<\/p>\n

Heritage House plans to return the building to its former look as a classroom with historic school displays inside.<\/p>\n

However, \u00a0no decision had been made as yet as to where the building will be positioned within the Heritage House complex.<\/p>\n

The TRC meeting was told the estimated cost to shift the building would be $48,300 with restoration estimated at $35,650.<\/p>\n
