Kholo is a rural locality in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. [3] In the 2016 census, Kholo had a population of 396 people. [1]
Kholo is an outer locality of Brisbane, located 22 kilometres (14 mi) south-west of the Brisbane CBD.
On Friday 23 June 1876, the Kholo Bridge across the Brisbane River to Chuwar ( 27°33′54″S 152°44′51″E / 27.5650°S 152.7476°E) was officially opened. Due to a period of heavy rain, the river was swollen and the deck of the new bridge was 3 feet (0.91 m) below the surface of the river. Determined to have a first official crossing of the bridge, a group of men pulled a buggy containing a "courageous lady" across the submerged bridge and Mrs Foote smashed a bottle against a bridge post and named the bridge. A banquet followed the ceremony. [4]
Kholo Provisional School opened circa 1 January 1877. It was described in June 1877 as being in a barn in an inconvenient location. [5] In June 1878, the local residents were advocating for a more permanent state school. [6] In September 1883, a report describes the school as having "most irregular" attendance. [7] In July 1884, Kholo was again mentioned as having an average attendance of 16 students out of 30 enrolled. [8] It closed circa 1 December 1884. [9] [10] In July 1886, local residents asked for a state school to replace the former provisional school, [11] but no further schools were built in the area.
In May 1881 tenders were called for the erection of a provisional school in Lower Kholo (now Mount Crosby), [12] which seems to result in Kholo Provisional School being casually referred to as Upper Kholo Provisional School. [13]
Kholo, Mount Crosby and Karana Downs were transferred from the City of Ipswich to become part of City of Brisbane in 2000. [14]
In the 2011 census, Kholo had a population of 397 people, 50.4% female and 49.6% male. The median age of the Kholo population was 42 years of age, 5 years above the Australian median. 84.8% of people living in Kholo were born in Australia, compared to the national average of 69.8%; the next most common countries of birth were England 5.1%, New Zealand 1.8%, Samoa 1.3%, Scotland 1%, Finland 0.8%. 96% of people spoke only English at home; the next most common languages were 1.5% Samoan, 1% Vietnamese. [15]
In the 2016 census, Kholo had a population of 396 people. [1]
There is a park at 384-186B Lake Manchester Road ( 27°30′51″S 152°47′33″E / 27.5143°S 152.7926°E). [16]
