About Carneys Creek

Carneys Creek is a sparsely populated rural locality in Queensland's Scenic Rim Region, situated approximately 116 km south-west of Brisbane and bordering New South Wales near the Main Range National Park. With just 71 residents recorded in the 2021 Census across 88.4 km², it is one of Queensland's most remote localities, characterised by rugged mountain terrain, dense eucalypt forests, and dramatic escarpments along the Great Dividing Range.

The locality is largely undeveloped and offers a secluded, off-grid lifestyle for the handful of properties scattered throughout the valley. The proximity to Main Range National Park makes Carneys Creek a destination for bushwalkers and nature enthusiasts seeking solitude. The nearest town centres of Boonah (29 km) and Killarney (43 km) provide basic services, while Warwick and Toowoomba are accessible for larger shopping and medical needs.

Carneys Creek falls under postcode 4310 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Scenic Rim electorate.
