}}Abergowrie is a town in Queensland, Australia within the local government area of Shire of Hinchinbrook.[1]

Geography

The town is located near the confluence of the Herbert River and Gowrie Creek.[2]

History

The town is named after the Abergowrie property, selected by James Atkinson in 1883. He coined the name from the Celtic word aber (confluence) and gowrie for Gowrie Creek, reflecting the location.[1]

In 1933, the St Teresa's Agricultural College was opened by the Christian Brothers.[2]

Education

Abergowrie has two schools:

  • Abergowrie State School (state primary co-educational school) which opened in 1953. [4]
  • St. Teresa's College (Catholic secondary boys school) which opened in 1933. [5]
