Room Motels Gatton
Room Motels Gatton is located in the heart of the Lockyer Valley nestled in the mountains of the great dividing range. Only 90 minutes from Brisbane and 30 minutes from Toowoomba.
Gatton is the largest town and business centre of the Lockyer Valley. It is a progressive and vibrant town centred around primary production and agriculture. Officially gazetted in 1855, Gatton has a culturally diverse population of approximately 7,000 and enjoys a laidback, country lifestyle. The town is dependent on the local farming community, supplying machinery, parts, irrigation equipment as well as essential products and services
Gatton has a rich agricultural heritage which is reflected in the University of Queensland's Gatton Campus. The college opened in 1897 as the Queensland Agricultural College, concluding a 20-year debate by farmers and politicians on ways to boost agricultural production in Queensland. Guests at the opening ceremony would have marvelled to know the college would metamorphose into a high school, U.S. Army field hospital, college of advanced education and finally a campus of The University of Queensland. Located only 5km from Gatton, the campus is recognised for excellence in teaching and research, as well as being home to heritage listed historic buildings
