Talgai is a rural locality in the Southern Downs Region, Queensland, Australia.

[3] This is quite unusual in Queensland which does not normally permit such a containment, requiring all localities to have at least two neighbours.

[4] The South Western railway line enters the locality from the north (Elphinstone/Allora) and exits to the south-east (Hendon).

[5][6] The locality name derives from the pastoral run name established by G. Gammie who arrived on the Condamine River with stock on 9 March 1841.

[7] It was on the south-eastern side of Dalrymple Creek Road (28°02′32″S 151°53′11″E / 28.04236°S 151.88648°E / -28.04236; 151.88648 (Talgai West State School (former))).
