Laidley, Queensland
Laidley is a town situated in the Lockyer Valley of South East Queensland, Australia. The township had a population of 2,858 in 2006 and lies 83 km west of Brisbane, the state capital. The local industry has been dominated by agriculture since the end of the 19th century. Laidley has long regarded itself as "Queensland's Country Garden". Fruit and vegetable production features prominently, with the majority of beetroot grown in Australia coming from the Laidley district.
Bill Gunn Dam
Bill Gunn Dam, 1.5 km west of the town of Laidley in South East Queensland, was developed to increase the capacity of the existing Lake Dyer, a natural lake adjacent to Laidley Creek, a tributary of Lockyer Creek. The dam was named after the Australian politician Bill Gunn and is managed by SunWater. The 1,170 m long earthfill structure has a maximum height of 12 m and an overflow spillway which diverts excess water into Laidley Creek.
Victoria Tunnel, Queensland
The Victoria Tunnel in Queensland is the oldest and longest railway tunnel in the state, built when the state was a separate colony. The tunnel is one of two built through the Little Liverpool Range on a section of narrow gauge railway from Grandchester to Gatton. The railway opened in June 1866. The tunnel has restricted clearances, which limits the size of rolling stock on the Queensland Railways network. It is 537 m long.
