History
The locality's name is derived from the parish name, allegedly an Aboriginal corruption of the name Domville referring to pastoralist Domville Taylor who was in the area in the 1840s.[1]
St Paul's Anglican Church is on the corner of Church Road and Grasstree Road (27.8732°S 151.4278°E). It was dedicated on 25 February 1891 by Bishop William Thomas Thornhill Webber and was closed circa 1985.[2] The cemetery to the side of the church is now operated by the Toowoomba Regional Council.[3]

gollark: This is particularly weird, it seems like potatOS downloaded the *other* files fine and it's just that one.
