Gracemere, Queensland : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gracemere, Queensland
Gracemere is a town located on the Capricorn Highway in Central Queensland, Australia, approximately west of the city of Rockhampton. Because of the proximity of the town to Rockhampton, Gracemere has become a dormitory town, with many residents commuting the short distance to work in the city. At the 2011 census, Gracemere had a population of 8,401. ==History== The area was first explored by Europeans in 1853, when the Archer brothers arrived looking for pastures for their sheep. They settled by a small lake, originally called "Farris" or Padgole lagoon which was named ''Gracemere'' in 1855. The name Gracemere comes from "Grace", the name of one of the Archer brothers wife and "mere" which is a Scottish term for lake. They also located a suitable landing point for supplies on the nearby Fitzroy River, which later became Rockhampton.
