About Didcot
Didcot is a sparsely populated rural locality in the North Burnett Region of Queensland, covering approximately 126 square kilometres of farming and grazing country. The locality sits within the North Burnett Regional Council area, in the Wide Bay–Burnett region of central Queensland. With a 2021 Census population of 85 residents spread across a large area, Didcot is a true outback hamlet defined by its pastoral landscape and agricultural heritage.
Didcot's history is tied to the now-closed Mungar–Monto railway line, which once passed through the locality with two stations — Didcot and Chowey — that have long since been decommissioned. The surrounding land is primarily used for beef cattle grazing and mixed farming, typical of the North Burnett region. Residents rely on nearby towns for services, with Monto and Gayndah being the principal service centres in the region. Didcot appeals to those drawn to a remote rural lifestyle surrounded by the rolling Queensland countryside.
Didcot falls under postcode 4621 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Maryborough electorate.
