Download coordinates as: Gilliat is an abandoned outback town in the locality of Julia Creek in the Shire of Mckinlay, Queensland, Australia.

In 1862, these two men brought a substantial number of sheep into the area, but poor seasons, isolation and adverse weather conditions caused their venture to fail.

During its more prosperous times, the town had a telegraph office, situated at the point where the rail line crossed the Gilliat River.

When the Gilliat railway station opened in 1909, a permanent post office was established, maintaining operations until 1973.

This hotel eventually changed its name to the Eddington Arms and remained in business until 2000, with its closure effectively marking the end of the town.
