Clarendon

History

Clarendon railway station is an abandoned railway station on the dismantled Brisbane Valley railway line (). Clarendon railway station was in use from 1886 to 1995 (it was called Tarampa railway station initially but was renamed). Clarendon Post Office opened on 1 July 1927 (a receiving office had been open from 1873 under the names of Tarampa, Watson's and Clarendon) and closed in 1951. Clarendon State School opened on 23 January 1929.

Geography

The locality takes its name from Lake Clarendon (approx to the south-west). Lockyer Creek enters the locality from the south-west (Mount Tarampa / Rifle Range) and forms part of the southern boundary of the locality. The creek then passes through the locality and then forms its northern, north-eastern, and eastern boundaries before exiting to the south-east (Patrick Estate / Lowood).
