Welcome to Biloela, in central Queensland, Australia. 
Biloela is an aboriginal word meaning "white cockatoo". 
A white cockatoo is a noisy white parrot with a yellow crest, which sounds a little like a crow, 
except the call is more a shriek than a complaint. 
Biloela is a town of approximately 6,000, with open cut coal mines, an abattoir, power stations, & grain crops. 
Thangool airport is close by. Rockhampton & Gladstone are our nearest cities - 
so Yeppoon & Tannum Sands are our nearest beaches.

Attention: Biloela area residents: if you have, or know of, a Biloela area web site, please email me.
