Wamuran is located west of the larger centre of
Caboolture, and southeast of
D'Aguilar.
In the north of Wamuran are several small sections of Beerburrum West State Forest.[8] Part of the south west boundary is marked by the
Caboolture River.
History
The locality takes its name from its railway station, which was named after a local Aboriginal man, Menvil Wanmaurn (also known as Jacky Delaney).[4]
Newlands Provisional School opened in 1915 and closed in 1927.[9][10]
Wamuran Provisional School opened on 17 October 1921. It later became Wamuran State School, possibly in 1925 when it moved into a new school building which had formerly been the Twin View State School near
Elimbah.[11][12] In 1949, tenders were called to relocate the former
Cambroon State School building to Wamuran State School.[13]
St Martin's Anglican Church was dedicated on 7 November 1871 by Coadjutor Bishop
John Hudson. Its closure was approved in August 1992.[14]
Wamuran Baptist Church opened in 1921.[15][16][17] It was built on land described as a "magnificent site" donated by Mr H. Behrens.[18]
There are no secondary schools in Wamuran. The nearest government secondary schools are Tullawong State High School and Caboolture State High School, both in neighbouring
Caboolture to the east.[24]
