Gagebrook has two primary schools: Herdman's Cove Primary School and Gagebrook Primary School[6] (both public).

Geography

The Jordan River forms the western and north-western boundaries.[7]

Road infrastructure

Route B32 (East Derwent Highway) passes to the south. From there, Gage Road and Tottenham Road provide access to the locality.[2][8]
