Geography

The Isaac River passes through the locality forming part of the locality's south-western boundary. The Fitzroy Developmental Road passes through the locality from north to south.[2]

The Duania open-cut coal mine is in the western part of the locality and is serviced by the Goonyella railway line.[3] However, the land use of Valkyrie is predominantly cattle grazing.[4]

History

Valkyrie State School opened on 9 January 1974.[5]

In 2011, there was a proposal to develop the Codrilla coal mine on a site approximately 800 metres from the school. The proposal included the relocation of the school and its teacher's residence to a new location to avoid any environmental impacts from the mine.[6][7] As of 2017, the mine proposal and school relocation have not yet occurred.

gollark: Well, it would work in JS, I think, since you can declare a variable and that's separate from assigning to it.
gollark: And which should be, say, not in the core library.
