Amberley is a suburb in the City of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, Amberley had a population of 253 people.[1]
Geography[edit]
Australia's biggest air force base, the RAAF Base Amberley is situated here and the Bureau of Meteorology has a weather observation station in Amberley. To the south of Amberley is the Fassifern Valley. The Jeebropilly coal mine is located just to the west of Amberley.
History[edit]
The suburb is named after Amberley in the United Kingdom. The name was used by James and Martha Collett for their residence in the 1850s as it was their hometown.[2] Previously the area was known as Three-Mile Creek, referring to it being three miles along on the Old Toowoomba Road from Ipswich.[3][4]
In 1861, a school commenced at Willowbank on a sheep and cattle station owned by Darby McGrath. McGrath then asked the Queensland Government to take over and donated land for the construction of a new building, resulting in the opening of Warrill Creek State School opened on 22 May 1862 on what is now the south-western part of the RAAF Base Amberley. On 28 January 1888 the school relocated to a new site at Sandridge but it was flooded in 1893 by Warrill Creek. In 1903, it was renamed Amberley State School.[5] This school is one of the oldest state primary schools in Queensland.[6] The outbreak of World War II escalated activity on the air force base and it was decided to close the school at the end of 1941 and it re-opened at the start of 1947. Concerns about aircraft noise at the school lead to the construction of a new school on Rosewood Road further from the base in the late 1970s. On 1 January 2010, the school was again relocated to Deebing Creek Road, Yamanto and renamed Amberley District State School.[7][8]
In December 1867 a United Methodist Free Church was opened at Three-Mile Creek.[9]
In the 2016 census, Amberley had a population of 253 people.[1]
