Residents would gather for race days, fundraising balls, sports days, Christmas parties and weddings. Now a virtual ghost town with a population of only three, Cooladdi, 825km west of Brisbane, still has its own postcode. It also has a railway siding and a hall as well as a roadhouse where its residents run the post office, general store, pub, restaurant and accommodation. In its heyday as a rail centre between Charleville and Quilpie, Cooladdi had 270 residents. There was a school, post office, police station, and a hall, as well as a butchery, boarding house and store.
