About Fairy Bower

Fairy Bower is a small locality on the south-western outskirts of Rockhampton, Queensland, situated approximately 8.4 kilometres from the Rockhampton CBD. Covering 24.6 square kilometres, it recorded a population of just 99 residents in the 2021 Census, making it one of the quieter pockets on the city's fringe. The locality is characterised by rural-residential properties, open grazing land, and the relaxed atmosphere typical of outer Rockhampton.

Fairy Bower appeals to those seeking a semi-rural lifestyle while remaining within easy reach of Rockhampton's urban amenities. Rockhampton offers full retail, medical, and educational facilities, and the locality is accessed via the main south-western road corridor. The area's low density and spacious properties make it attractive to hobby farmers and families wanting larger blocks, while the proximity to the Yeppen roundabout — home to Rockhampton's famous Big Bull — marks an iconic local landmark just nearby.

Fairy Bower falls under postcode 4700 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Rockhampton electorate.
