Ellinthorp is a town and a locality in the Southern Downs Region, Queensland, Australia.[1][2]
History
The township was known as Talgai before it was renamed Ellinthorp by a decision of the Queensland Executive Council on 19 March 1931 (QGG 1931:1:1515).[1] The result of this decision is that the locality of Ellinthorp is now an island entirely within the boundaries of the locality of Talgai.[3] This is quite unusual in Queensland which does not normally permit such a containment, requiring all localities to have at least two neighbours.[4]
The town is no longer populated.[1]
