Calliope - The Township

The township of Calliope is located 15km south west of Gladstone. Originally a product of the goldrush era, Calliope goldfield was first proclaimed in 1863. The name Calliope, was derived from the Calliope River which was named by Governor Fitzroy in 1854, after HMS Calliope carried him from Sydney to Port Curtis.

Since the end of the goldrush era primary industry has been the mainstay of the Calliope district with beef cattle, dairying, pigs, crops, fruit and vegetables all being produced.

In recent years the township of Calliope has undergone significant growth. This growth has coincided with the expansion of the Gladstone region and large scale development of local industry. This trend is expected to continue.

Calliope offers all the major services including shops, primary school, childcare facility (under construction), Council Chambers, Post Office, 2 hotels, motel, 2 service stations, nursing home, bowls and golf club, golf course, sporting and equestrian grounds and parklands.
