Mocamboro, or "The Bluff" State School 1448 was situated fifteen kms north-west of Merino alongside the Humble Bumble Creek. It opened in November 1874 with up to 42 students under the tutelage of B. J. Langford.
From 1884 it operated part-time with Bowtell's Creek as settlers left the district realising the small farm blocks of 80-100 ha could not sustain a living. The school closed in May 1916, and the single room, weatherboard structure was sold and removed to Digby for use as a private residence.
Head Teacher from May 1896 - May 1899 was Jennie Robinson Johnson. Born at Kansas, USA in 1870, she came to Australia in 1883 with her family who settled at Greenwald.
She was employed by the Education Department from 1889-1902; firstly at 2653 Glenaulin/Greenwald, then at Bluff/Mocamboro, and finally at 3307 Cudgewa North until her marriage in 1902.
She then moved to County Armagh, Ireland.
