Geography
The Yandina-Coolum Road runs along the eastern boundary.[4]
History
Valdora was part of the Yandina Cattle Run in the mid-19th century. Early selections were made after 1868 as cattlergrazing was the main early industry. Farming and timber followed, along with fruit, dairying and sugarcane, which remains a rural economy. Its name was replaced Valdora in order to avoid confusion with another Golden Valley abroad in Queensland.[5]
Golden Valley State School opened on 27 August 1918. On 1 July 1940, it was renamed Valdora State School. It was at Valdora Road (Script error: No such module "Coordinates".).[6][7] In 1949, the school building was moved to a new location in neighbouring Yandina Creek and re-opened on 1 February 1949 as Yandina Creek State School, which closed on 7 August 1964.[8]
