}}Gilberton is a remote locality in the Shire of Etheridge, Queensland, Australia.[1]

Geography

The old Gilberton township lies within a cattle station (privately owned by one family since 1869, which was established near Yangaa territory). The only remains of the town is the stone fortress that was built by the Martell family in 1869. The date palm on the northern side of the Gilbert River is the site of the Corbett store.

The Gilbert River flows from the south-east to the north-west of the locality and then travels northward towards its mouth at the Gulf of Carpentaria. Gilberton Station neighbors Rungullla National Park.[2]

  • Forsayth-Agate Creek - Ortona (Iona) Station Road: Ortona Mine and Battery[9]
