Johnstown, Queensland


Johnstown is a locality split between the South Burnett Region and the Gympie Region, in Queensland, Australia.

History

The locality name is derived from a pastoral run held in 1854 by John Stephen Ferriter. The run is shown on an 1872 map of Southern Queensland, south of the Stephenton run which was also held by Ferriter, suggesting the names of the runs derive from Ferriter's given names.
