GRANTHAM
Grantham, QLD 4347, is a small rural locality situated in the Lockyer Valley region of Queensland, Australia, approximately 80 kilometers west of Brisbane. Known for its fertile agricultural land, Grantham is part of a major farming area that produces a variety of crops, including vegetables, grains, and fodder. The suburb gained national attention following the devastating 2011 Queensland floods, which caused significant damage and loss of life in the area. Since then, Grantham has been rebuilt with improved flood resilience, including the relocation of homes to higher ground. The community is tight-knit, with a focus on family, farming, and recovery. Amenities are limited, but the town offers a peaceful, rural lifestyle with easy access to larger centers like Toowoomba and Ipswich.
