The Glenmorgan railway line passes from the north-east (Dalby) to the north-west (Ducklo) of the locality.[3] The locality is served by Nandi railway station (27.2139°S 151.1714°E / -27.2139; 151.1714 (Nandi railway station)).[4]

The Queensland Railways Department named the railway station on 8 October 1910. Nandi is an Aboriginal word meaning spur winged plover.[4][5] The locality presumably takes its name from the railway station.[6]

gollark: osmarks.tk's experiment pages are just HTML/CSS/JS with no title bar or comment box or anything, plus metadata, and the blog stuff is Markdown. The static site generator compiles the markdown to HTML, and puts the HTML into templates, embeds styles and stuff, adds the achievement system code, and all that sort of thing, and produces HTML/CSS/JS for upload to my server.
gollark: APNG good, MP4 good, etc.
