Theodore, Queensland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theodore is also the name of a suburb of Canberra

Theodore is a town in Queensland, Australia, situated on the Dawson River. The town - like the Canberra suburb - is named in honour of Labor politician Ted Theodore, Premier of Queensland (1919–1925) and Treasurer of Australia in the ministry of Prime Minister James Scullin (1929–1931). Theodore is located just off the Leichhardt Highway 565km north-west of the state capital, Brisbane. The town's economy is closely linked to coal mining - Theodore is at the southern end of Queensland's coal-rich Bowen Basin. As of the 2001 census, Theodore has population of 646.

Theodore is located within the Banana Shire local government area.

Theodore was designed by Sir Walter Burley Griffin before he set on his task of designing the nation's capital. The huge roundabout (The Bull Ring) in the centre of town is a great example of Sir Walter Burley Griffin's idea's before taken on the big one.[citation needed]
