Flinders Lakes is a rural locality in the City of Logan, Queensland, Australia.[2] It is situated along the development corridor south of Brisbane in the Greater Flagstone development area and is one of four new suburbs that have been created in Logan to house a predicted population boom between Brisbane and the Gold Coast.[3]
Flinders Lakes is located at the most southerly point of the City of Logan.[4]
History
