Queensland National Bank in Kandanga. Kandaga is located 160 km north west of Brisbane in the Gympie region. 30 August 1914.

History

In 1872, the bank was established in Brisbane.[1]

In 1948, the bank was taken over by the National Bank of Australasia, now the National Australia Bank.[1]

Legacy

The bank constructed many substantial and ornate buildings as branches throughout Queensland. A number of extant buildings are heritage-listed, including:

The locality of Qunaba takes its name from the Qunaba sugar mill, being in turn coined from the bank's name (QUeensland NAtional BAnk).[11]

Queensland National Bank was inducted into the Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame in 2011, for their significant contribution to Queensland's early economic development.[12]

gollark: It's only low-specced by somewhat recent standards, it's a ridiculous amount of computing power if actually used by sane software.
gollark: I mean, its CPU is about equivalent to a Raspberry Pi 3, but that's *usable*.
