Beaudesert Shire

Beaudesert Shire, an area of 2858 sq km, extended from Browns Plains (Logan City) on the Mount Lindesay Highway to the New South Wales border. Its eastern and western boundaries were the Gold Coast municipality and the Ipswich and Boonah municipalities respectively. The southern ranges and Lamington Plateau have the headwaters of the Logan, Albert and Coomera Rivers, which all flow north-easterly through the former shire.
