About Dunmora
Dunmora is a rural locality in the Fraser Coast Region of Queensland, situated in the Mary Valley hinterland approximately 20 kilometres north-west of Maryborough. With a population of around 281 people across 85 square kilometres, it is a scattered farming and lifestyle community bounded to the south by the Maryborough–Biggenden Road. The area sits within Fraser Coast Council and is characterised by gently rolling pastoral land and creek country typical of the Wide Bay–Burnett district.
The locality attracts hobby farmers, cattle producers, and those seeking rural lifestyle properties within reasonable distance of Maryborough's services. Maryborough itself — a city known for its heritage streetscapes, Mary Poppins connections, and manufacturing history — provides hospitals, schools, and retail for Dunmora residents. The broader Fraser Coast region, including Hervey Bay and Fraser Island (K'gari), is within easy reach, making Dunmora an affordable base for those who want country living with coastal weekend getaways close at hand.
Dunmora falls under postcode 4650 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Maryborough electorate.
