Isis Junction railway station

The Isis Junction railway station is a former railway station on the North [Coast railway line, Queensland|North Coast railway line] in Buxton, Bundaberg Region, Queensland, Australia. It was the junction for the former Isis railway line that served the Shire of Isis.

History

The name reflects its role as the junction to the Isis railway line. In turn, the name Isis comes from the nearby Isis River, which in turn is believed to be named after the Isis River in England by William Howard, a pioneer miner in the district who came from London.
The town of Isistown was surveyed by Fred. J. Charlton around the Isis Junction railway station and to the north of the Isis River. The first land sale of town allotments were held on 9 January 1886. The town was promoted as having many benefits including:

being the junction of the two railway lines
having a good river
having excellent timber
being in a district with rich agricultural potential
being prospected for coal fields

A further land sale for Isistown was held on 5 June 1886, but today there is no evidence that any town was established in the area.
Isistown Provisional School opened circa 1888 and closed circa 1890.
