History

The Bluff Provisional School opened in July 1907. On 1 January 1909 it became The Bluff State School. In May 1915 it was renamed Brooloo State School. It closed in 1970.[4]

Brooloo Post Office opened by June 1915 (a receiving office had been open from March 1914). In 1922 the Brooloo Rail office was renamed Brooloo and replaced the previous office. It closed in 1972.[5]

At the 2006 census, Brooloo and the surrounding area had a population of 333.[1]

gollark: See, it's important to recognize that distinction.
gollark: What do you mean you "perceive" time as discrete? You mean you *arbitrarily think so*, or what?
gollark: Quite a lot.
gollark: > The Planck time is the unique combination of the gravitational constant G, the special-relativistic constant c, and the quantum constant ħ, to produce a constant with dimension of time. Because the Planck time comes from dimensional analysis, which ignores constant factors, there is no reason to believe that exactly one unit of Planck time has any special physical significance. Rather, the Planck time represents a rough time scale at which quantum gravitational effects are likely to become important. This essentially means that while smaller units of time can exist, they are so small their effect on our existence is negligible. The nature of those effects, and the exact time scale at which they would occur, would need to be derived from an actual theory of quantum gravity.
gollark: Oh, no, never mind, that's not it.
