Egypt is a rural locality in the Lockyer Valley Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, Egypt had a population of 15 people.[1]

History[]

In June 1912, a public meeting called for the establishment of a school as there were about 17 children who would attend. John Renton offered 1 acre (0.40 ha) of his land for the school.[3][4] However, there is no evidence that the school was ever established.[5]
