The Southern railway line enters the suburb from the north (Hendon) and exits to the south (Massie). The Warwick Allora Road also enters the locality from the north (Hendon, but to the east of the railway) and exits to the south (Massie, adjacent to the railway).[3]
The land use is a mix of grazing on native vegetation and crop growing. The crops are mostly grown in the east of the locality.[3]
History
The locality is named after pioneer stock breeder John Deuchar who leased the Canal Creek pastoral run, managed the Rosenthal run, and was co-owner of Glengallan run from 1855 to 1870.[2]
Sacred Heart Catholic Church was built from brick on 3 acres (1.2 ha) of land donated by D. Dwan. It was designed by Coutler & Thompson. It was opened on Sunday 23 March 1919 by ArchbishopJames Duhig in the presence of nearly 500 people.[7] It was on the north-west corner of Deuchar - Bony Mountain Road and Warwick Allora Road (28°06′55″S151°57′06″E / 28.115287°S 151.9517°E / -28.115287; 151.9517 (Sacred Heart Catholic Church)). Following some years of declining attendance, the church was closed and sold in June 2021.[8][9] As at March 2024, the church building is still extant.[10]
There are no schools in Deuchar. The nearest government primary schools are Allora State School in Allora to the north-east and Wheatvale State School in Wheatvale to the south-west. The nearest government secondary schools are Allora State School (to Year 10) in Allora, Clifton State High School (to Year 12) in Clifton to the north, and Warwick State High School (to Year 12) in Warwick to the south-east.[14]
