Grant is a former rural locality in the Barcaldine Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, Grant had a population of 11 people.[1]

On 22 November 2019 the Queensland Government decided to amalgamate the localities in the Barcaldine Region, resulting in five expanded localities based on the larger towns: Alpha, Aramac, Barcaldine, Jericho and Muttaburra. Grant was mostly incorporated into Barcaldine, except for the eastern corner which was incorporated into Jericho.[3][4][5]

Geography[edit]

The Capricorn Highway and, to its immediate south, Central Western railway line pass through the locality from east (Garfield/Mexico) to the west (Barcaldine).[6]

The Alice River flows through the locality from the north-east (Garfield) to the south-west (Barcaldine).[6]

The undeveloped town of Alice is within Grant, located along the Central Western railway line.[6]

Education[edit]

There are no schools in Grant. The nearest primary schools are in Barcaldine and Jericho. The nearest secondary school is in Barcaldine.[6]
