History

The locality takes its name from an early pastoral run in the Stanthorpe area.[2]

Land in Nundubbermere was open for selection on 17 April 1877; 53 square miles (140 km2) were available.[3]

On 15 June 1917, the Queensland Government approved the estabishment of a state school at Nundubbermere.[4] In October 1917 the government reserved 2 acres (0.81 ha) of Crown land for the school.[5] It is unclear if the school ever opened.

gollark: I'm pretty strongly biased against claims of "free energy" and stuff because if you could trivially produce vast quantities of energy through some magic thing, *it would be used everywhere*.
