About Breadalbane
Breadalbane is a small rural locality in the Whitsunday region of Queensland, located approximately 25 km south-west of Proserpine and forming part of the rich agricultural and grazing hinterland behind the Whitsunday coast. With only 23 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, Breadalbane is one of the Whitsunday region's quieter localities, covering nearly 16 km² of inland sugarcane and grazing country. Its name, like many in the region, echoes the Scottish heritage of 19th-century pastoral settlers.
The locality is surrounded by productive farmland, and residents rely on Proserpine for all essential services including schools, supermarkets, and health care. The broader Whitsunday hinterland offers beautiful scenic drives, access to Eungella National Park (home of the platypus), and is within easy reach of Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Islands — one of Australia's premier tourism destinations. Breadalbane suits those seeking an affordable and peaceful rural lifestyle within reach of the Whitsunday coast.
Breadalbane falls under postcode 4800 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Whitsunday electorate.
