Toolooa

Toolooa receiving office, 10 km south of Gladstone. It opened as Skyring's Mill in late 1898 or early 1899 and was renamed Toolooa on 16 March 1899 and was elevated to a post office about 1905 and again reduced to a receiving office by July 1907 before being designated a post office in late 1927. 

Some examples show a rubber stamp with Toolooa at the top and Gladstone Line (Queensland) at the bottom
