The Inverai Pioneer Memorial Hall
In 1927 the pioneering residents of Inverai, west of Jandowae, built a comminity hall for the locals to use and enjoy. Today, the hall represents the heart of the Inverai community.
Over the past 95 years, the hall has hosted many community gathering including weddings, dances, mock debutant balls and more. Today the hall is used for community events, agricultural field days and the annual Inverai Christmas Party.
The name sake of the hall, Inverai's pioneering farming residents, transformed thick brigalow scrub into one of Queensland's premier dairying areas. The pioneers also bred and grazed cattle on larger holding and held campdrafts across from the hall, demonstrating their horsemanship skills
The Inverai Pioneer Memorial Hall Committee are looking forward to hosting you at the hall. The tour group will be served a hot lunch and be treated to yarns from the locals about the history of the district.
