Nanango, Administrative division in South Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia
Nanango sits at the intersection of D'Aguilar and Burnett Highways, with Sandy Creek flowing through the town toward the Burnett River catchment.
John Borthwick and William Oliver established the first European settlement in 1847, introducing sheep grazing operations to the Nanango region.
The name originates from the Wakka Wakka Aboriginal word 'nunangi', indicating a substantial water source or meeting location for indigenous communities.
The region supports multiple industries including coal mining, power generation, agriculture, cattle farming, pork production, dairy operations, and timber processing.
The Nanango War Memorial, unveiled in 1920 by Major-General Thomas William Glasgow, stands as a testament to local military service members.
