Valley Of Lagoons Station is a pastoral lease that currently operates as a cattle station in Queensland.
It is located approximately 105 kilometres (65 mi) west of Trebonne and 111 kilometres (69 mi) south of Mount Garnet. The property is located at the headwaters of the Burdekin River which flows through the property. The land is a basaltic plateau covered by an inland flood plain that hosts several large off-channel lakes that provide a permanent aquatic habitat. The area is DIWA listed and is a valuable habitat for fish.
The traditional owners of the area are the Gugu Badhun peoples who travelled widely through the area but made winter camp around the area to make the most of permanent water and abundant food.
Ludwig Leichhardt and his team were the first Europeans to explore the area on 4 May 1845 on his expedition from Moreton Bay to Port Essington (now Darwin). Leichhardt was very impressed with the area, in regards to rearing livestock.
