Situated in the fertile Lockyer Valley with a backdrop of the Great Dividing Range; only some 60 minutes west of Brisbane, Gatton is located in a beautiful area of Queensland.
The rich farmland of Gatton was one of the first rural settlements in South East Queensland. The much recorded and debated 'Gatton murders' that occurred in 1898 were the subject of Australian writer Rodney Hall's novel 'Captivity Captive'.
The beauty of Lake Apex Park at Gatton offers Aboriginal carvings and abundant birdlife; perfect for a picnic besides Black Duck Creek. Lake Apex Park is complete with The Gatton Historical Village, BBQ shelters, playground equipment for the kids, skate ramp and walking track. If you are looking for somewhere to stop and revive or a place to take the family for the day, the Gatton Lake Apex Park is the place to visit. See also the grounds of the original Agricultural College, first opened in 1897 and now the Gatton regional campus of the University of Queensland.
