Geography
The North Coast railway line enters the locality from the south (Traveston) and exits to the north-west (Woondum). The locality was historically served by the now-abandoned:[3]
- Meadvale railway station (26°16′41″S 152°44′57″E / 26.2780°S 152.7491°E / -26.2780; 152.7491 (Meadvale))[4]
- Tandur railway station (26°17′05″S 152°45′23″E / 26.2847°S 152.7563°E / -26.2847; 152.7563 (Tandur railway station))[5]
History
Tandur Provisional School opened on 29 September 1924.[6][7] On 1 May 1929, it became Tandur State School.[8][9] It closed on 16 July 1967.[10] It was on the western side of the Tandur Traveston Road (26°17′11″S 152°45′27″E / 26.28630°S 152.75752°E / -26.28630; 152.75752 (Kybong State School (former))).[11][12]
In 1996, the North Coast railway line was realigned to be shorter with fewer tight curves and to improve flood mitigation. This removed the Meadvale and Tandur railway stations from the line.[13][14]
