Much conjecture remains as to the meaning of Jimbour’s name. The Barungam Aboriginal people native to the region referred to it as Gimba, meaning white clouds. It could also be translated to mean good pastures. Luckily, Jimbour is blessed with both. But the long and storied history of Jimbour entwines and aligns with the history of European settlement in both the Darling Downs, and in Greater Queensland.
