Tummaville: River Connections and Church History

Tummaville brings together two distinct themes: Yarramalong Weir on the banks of the Condamine River and the history of St Paul's Anglican Church. One focuses on a riverside stay, the other on local history with specific dates. If you are looking for holiday accommodation in Tummaville, these themes can help you decide in advance which ones suit your travel plans.

River Connections and a Stay at Yarramalong Weir

Yarramalong Weir is on the banks of the Condamine River. Yarramalong Weir Reserve is located on Yarramalong Road in Tummaville. Both details are useful for orientation: the weir is the river reference point, while the road identifies the reserve's location. This helps distinguish the specific river connection from the named location of the reserve.

As of 9 September 2026, camping at Yarramalong Weir is available for self-contained campers; camping conditions may change. Stays there are limited to a maximum of three days within a seven-day period. This operating rule may also change, so check it before your visit. The limit applies to stays at the weir and is not a requirement for the total length of your trip. If you include camping in your plans, take into account both the self-contained requirement and this time limit.

The History of St Paul's Anglican Church

St Paul's Anglican Church in Tummaville was consecrated by Bishop William Thomas Thornhill Webber on 25 February 1891. It was in operation from 1891 to 1985 and closed around 1985. The exact consecration date, the period of operation, and the approximate date of closure provide different chronological reference points for the church's history. Anyone interested in Tummaville's history can consider these milestones as a connected timeline without treating the approximate closure date as equivalent to the precisely dated consecration day.

In 2019, the church was removed from its site. The cemetery associated with it remains accessible through the Anglican Church Diocese; contact details may change. If you are considering visiting the cemetery, confirm the contact details with the Diocese in advance. The church's local history and the current question of how to contact the cemetery are two separate aspects of your planning.

Plan Your Stay and Holiday Accommodation

When looking for holiday accommodation in Tummaville, you can first consider which focus you want your stay to have. If you are interested in Yarramalong Weir, the river connection, the camping requirement for self-contained campers, and the limited stay duration are relevant planning details. If church history is your main focus, the dates of the consecration, period of operation, and removal of the building provide a different point of reference; for the cemetery, you should check with the Diocese about how to make contact.

Decide whether a riverside stay or local history is more important to your plans, and check the relevant conditions before finalising your stay.
