Article History

Beaudesert, town, southeastern Queensland, eastern Australia. It is situated on the Logan River about 45 miles (70 km) southwest of Brisbane.

Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia
Beaudesert, Queensland, AustraliaA parade in Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia, in 1908.

A livestock station was established there in 1842 and named by an early resident, possibly for Beaudesert, a residence of a noble family in Staffordshire, England. In 1863 the state’s first cotton plantation was begun nearby, using Kanaka labourers (South Pacific islanders). The community that developed became a town in 1876. Beaudesert lies along the Mount Lindesay Highway. Formerly a transportation hub for the meatpacking industry when a railway line ran between Beaudesert and Brisbane, the town is now the centre of a district of dairy, fruit, pig, corn (maize), alfalfa (lucerne), and pumpkin farming. It also has a variety of small manufacturing companies. Beaudesert is considered a gateway to scenic natural attractions in the region. The town, which has become increasingly important as a resort, holds an agricultural show in September. Pop. (2006) urban centre, 5,388; (2011) urban centre, 5,474.
