About Coorumbene
Coorumbene is a sparsely populated rural locality in the Central Highlands Region of Queensland, situated approximately 13 kilometres southeast of Rolleston and 285 kilometres southwest of Rockhampton. Covering nearly 400 square kilometres at elevations of 210 to 270 metres, the area had just 40 residents at the 2021 census. The landscape consists of vast open grazing land typical of central Queensland, with cattle and sheep properties dotting the dry inland terrain.
Life in Coorumbene revolves around pastoral farming, with residents typically travelling to Rolleston for basic supplies and to Emerald (152 km) for a wider range of services and medical care. The locality offers wide-open spaces and a very quiet, self-sufficient rural lifestyle well removed from urban pressures. Those who live here are predominantly farming families drawn to the region's working pastoral tradition and the vast, unhurried character of central Queensland's outback fringe.
Coorumbene falls under postcode 4702 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Rockhampton electorate.
