About Bracewell
Bracewell is a sparsely populated rural locality in the Gladstone Region of Queensland, situated approximately 46 kilometres west of Gladstone and 86 kilometres south-east of Rockhampton. With a 2021 Census population of 178 residents spread across an expansive 143 square kilometres, the locality is characterised by open cattle country, pastoral grazing land, and the eucalyptus woodland typical of central Queensland. The low population density and large land parcels reflect the agricultural nature of the area, which falls within the federal electorate of Flynn.
Bracewell's landscape is defined by open pastoral country, with Zamia Knob — a prominent hill rising to 281 metres — providing a notable natural landmark in the south of the locality. The city of Gladstone, approximately 46 kilometres to the east, is the nearest major centre and provides access to schools, hospitals, retail, and significant employment in its port, industrial, and resources sectors. Bracewell suits those seeking a rural lifestyle with large landholdings and the practical advantages of proximity to a major Queensland regional and industrial hub.
Bracewell falls under postcode 4695 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Gladstone electorate.
