Gatton

Tucked along Lockyer Creek in Queensland’s Lockyer Valley, Gatton is a town whose character is shaped by fertile alluvial farmland and a longstanding connection to agriculture. Vegetable growing, grain production and livestock remain central to the district, and Gatton serves as a working centre for surrounding rural communities. The University of Queensland’s Gatton campus is a major Australian hub for agricultural, veterinary and animal-science education, carrying forward a role begun by the Queensland Agricultural College in 1897. West of Brisbane, the town sits in a productive valley framed by the inland country of south-east Queensland.
