History
The town of Gilliat is shown on a 1907 survey plan.[1]
At the Queensland Country Women's Association annual conference in August 1930, the Gilliart branch proposed that the association should work to establish a school at Gilliat as there were 31 school-aged children in the district and the association voted to do so.[3] Gilliart State School opened circa 1931 but closed circa 1934.[4]
