About Lilydale

Lilydale is a small rural locality in the Lockyer Valley Region of Queensland, situated in the state electorate of Lockyer approximately 80 kilometres west of Brisbane. Covering just under 10 square kilometres, the locality is traversed by Flagstone Creek on its western side, with surrounding land predominantly used for irrigated cropping and mixed agriculture.
