About Bundi
Bundi is a remote rural locality in Queensland's Western Downs Region, covering an area of approximately 703 square kilometres of open grazing and gas country. It lies about 46 kilometres west of Wandoan and 114 kilometres north-west of Miles, sitting at the edge of the Surat Basin — a region known for extensive coal seam gas development across its southern sections. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 52 people, up from 38 in 2016, with no schools or significant services within the locality itself.
Bundi's vast pastoral landscape is characterised by brigalow scrub, box woodland, and open plains typical of the inland Darling Downs and Western Downs. Coal seam gas bores are a prominent feature of the southern part of the locality, reflecting the broader energy industry that has reshaped Queensland's western interior in recent decades. The nearest schooling options are found in the neighbouring localities of Grosmont and Wandoan, and residents rely entirely on private vehicles for access to services in Miles or Roma (approximately 132 kilometres south-west). The area offers a truly remote lifestyle for those working in the pastoral or resources sectors.
Bundi falls under postcode 4419 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Callide electorate.
