Sharon

Sharon is a rural/residential locality just north of the Burnett River, eight km west of Bundaberg. It was named after the Biblical Plain of Sharon, a fertile place between Jaffa and the south-west Carmel Range (Samarian hills). Rendered swampy in the middle ages, its reclamation by Jewish settlers began in the late nineteenth century.
