In January 1847 Colonel George Barney led a settlement party from Sydney to Port Curtis to establish the short-lived Colony of North Australia. They travelled in the 628-ton barque Lord Auckland which was built in Calcutta in 1836. The ship stranded on a shoal in Port Curtis on 25 January 1847, but was refloated and repaired in a creek, now known as Auckland Creek. Auckland Inlet is also named after the barque.The suburb takes its name from the railway station which was assigned in August 1967 by Queensland Railways Department to their locomotive servicing facility, using an Aboriginal word (probably from a New South Wales area), meaning plenty of hills.In the 2016 census Callemondah had a population of 18 people.
