Tummaville: Yarramalong Weir and Local History

If you are considering Tummaville as a destination, Yarramalong Weir and St Paul's Anglican Church offer two distinct points of interest. The weir is a place for self-contained campers, with a specific limit on how long they can stay. The church offers a glimpse into local history, while the cemetery requires separate contact arrangements through the diocese. For your travel planning, it is worth keeping these topics distinct: the weir concerns the length of stay, the church its historical context, and the cemetery making contact.

Yarramalong Weir: Camping and Length of Stay

Yarramalong Weir is on the banks of the Condamine River; Yarramalong Weir Reserve is on Yarramalong Road in Tummaville. Camping for self-contained campers is permitted at Yarramalong Weir. The maximum stay is three days within a seven-day period. This limit applies to stays at the weir. It is therefore relevant to camping plans, but it is not a general limit on how long you can visit Tummaville. The distinction also applies if you are looking for a hotel in Tummaville: the stated rule applies to camping at the weir, not to the length of a hotel stay. This lets you assess your planned stay based on whether camping at the weir is actually part of your trip or you are planning another type of accommodation. The rule and camping conditions may change. Check the current requirements in advance if your plans depend on being able to camp or on the maximum stay.

St Paul's Anglican Church and Cemetery

St Paul's Anglican Church in Tummaville was dedicated by Bishop William Thomas Thornhill Webber on 25 February 1891. It was in operation from 1891 to 1985; its closure is dated to around 1985. In 2019, the church was removed from its site. For historical context, it is important to note that the end of its operation and its later removal were separate events: the removal took place more than three decades after the approximate date of closure. If you are looking for the former church site, the information about its removal is relevant; the church is no longer there. The cemetery associated with the church in Tummaville remains accessible through the Anglican Church diocese. Contact arrangements may change; check contact options with the diocese in advance if you plan to visit the cemetery. These involve distinct planning considerations: the church can be placed in historical context through its dedication, period of operation and removal; for the cemetery, the practical step is to make contact through the diocese.

Plan Your Stay Around the Purpose of Your Trip

Consider whether your plans actually include self-contained camping at the weir; only then is the maximum stay there a direct time constraint. It does not describe a limit on a hotel stay. The historical information offers a different focus: if you want to include local history, the sequence of the church's dedication, period of operation and removal helps place it in context. For the cemetery, you should consider contacting the diocese separately. This lets you distinguish between the length of a camping stay, an interest in church history and arranging contact about the cemetery when planning your trip.
