Vergemont was a rural locality in the Longreach Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] It was amalgamated into the locality of Longreach.
Geography
The locality included the Lochern National Park in its southernmost section.[3]
History
In the 2016 census, Vergemont had a population of 26 people.[1]
In January 2019, it was decided to reduce the number of localities within Longreach Region by amalgamating the localities to the north and west of the town of Longreach into the locality of Longreach. The localities amalgamated were: Camoola, Chorregon, Ernestina, Maneroo, Morella, Tocal, and Vergemont.[4] As a consequence of this amalgamation, the Longreach Region has just three localities: Longreach, Ilframcombe and Isisford.[5]
