The district was based in the South Burnett region. It is best known for being the seat of long-serving Premier, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen.
Barambah was created in 1950, essentially as a reconfiguring of the old seat of Nanango. Fittingly, when Barambah was abolished in 2001, it was replaced by a recreated Nanango.
Barambah was the only seat in any Australian parliament to be won by a Citizens Electoral Council candidate - at the 1988 by-election.

gollark: SQLite is harder to deal with if you're just asking "how do I deal with these raw bytes with no libraries æææææææææ", but this is not actually the case.
gollark: Huh, apparently the full text search has to store its data in fake articles with a weird type set.
gollark: Yes, and?
