Aldershot is a town in the Fraser Coast Region,
Queensland, Australia
The Queensland Smelting Company named the
town after Aldershot in England. The company was
established in England in 1888 and in 1893 built a
smelter in the area. The smelter operated until
1906, when it was relocated to North Queensland
to be closer to the mining areas.
Aldershot Post Office opened on 1 September 1892
and closed around 1920.
A primary school opened in Aldershot in 1894. It
appears to have closed by 1911, when tenders were
called to relocate the school buildings to
Maryborough West and the teacher's residence to
Gayndah.
