Clarendon is a rural locality in the Somerset Region, Queensland, Australia. [2] In the 2021 census, Clarendon had a population of 232 people. [1]
The locality takes its name from Lake Clarendon (approx 20 kilometres (12 mi) to the south-west). [2]
Lockyer Creek enters the locality from the south-west ( Mount Tarampa / Rifle Range) and forms part of the southern boundary of the locality. The creek then passes through the locality and then forms its northern, north-eastern, and eastern boundaries before exiting to the south-east ( Patrick Estate / Lowood). [3]
Clarendon railway station is an abandoned railway station on the dismantled Brisbane Valley railway line ( 27°25′28″S 152°32′08″E / 27.4244°S 152.5355°E). [4] Clarendon railway station was in use from 1886 to 1995 (it was called Tarampa railway station initially but was renamed). [2]
Lockyer Creek Provisional School opened circa 1891. In 1892, it was renamed Lockyer Provisional School. It closed in 1915. Its location was described as "near Clarendon". [5]
Clarendon Post Office opened on 1 July 1927 (a receiving office had been open from 1873 under the names of Tarampa, Watson's and Clarendon) and closed in 1951. [6]
Clarendon State School opened on 23 January 1929. [5]
In the 2016 census, Clarendon had a population of 244 people. [7]
In the 2021 census, Clarendon had a population of 232 people. [1]

[9] [10] In 2018, the school had an enrolment of 84 students with 6 teachers (5 full-time equivalent) and 9 non-teaching staff (4 full-time equivalent). [11]
