About Wowan
Wowan is a rural town and locality in the Shire of Banana in Central Queensland, about 70 km south-west of Rockhampton, with the nearby village of Deeford lying within the locality. In its early twentieth century heyday Wowan was a dairying centre, with the Dawson Valley Dairy Cooperative processing cream from hundreds of local farms and shipping it as far afield as England. The town briefly served as the seat of the shire's local government in the 1940s.
