Hi, would anyone be able to help identity this cancellation?

I've tried to search for towns beginning with the visible letters but cannot find anything close.

Much appreciated

Nice one Jason3011 - looks like an earliest recorded date for Koorboora, rated 2R.

Seen used from 16 September 1913 until 5th October, 1940.

70km W of Atherton
Receiving Office 1889-1909; Post Office 1909-1943; Telephone Office 1946

Hard to find any info on Koorboora
Koorboora was named from an Aboriginal word for 'a barren place'.

I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't even pick that up as starting with a K. No wonder I couldn't find anything.

Thank you for the help! Much appreciated

Thanks for the Trove,
I began to entertain the thought Koorboora (Koor'bra) may be linked to the famous Aussie hat "Akubra" (aboriginal: headcovering)
Not so.
