History

Bueuaraba district derives its name from a wayside hotel called “The Beuaraba” which attracted itinerant rural workers and local landholders.  The word is aboriginal for “Place of the dry bushes”.  Originally the town around the hotel was known “Beauaraba”, but as time progressed, the area was renamed “Pittsworth” in 1915 in honour of a prominent local family.  The hotel and surrounding land was taken over by the Lindenberg family in the early 1940s and was converted into a vintage auto museum which, by the 1960s became the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere.  Beauaraba District was formed in 1967/68.
