About Fielding
Fielding is a remote pastoral locality in western Queensland, situated within postcode 4825 in the vast outback region near Mount Isa. Covering over 3,700 square kilometres of sparsely populated rangeland, the area recorded just 13 residents in the 2021 census. Its character is defined by open grazing country, extreme isolation, and the rugged beauty of Queensland's outback interior.
Life in Fielding revolves around large-scale cattle and sheep grazing on expansive stations that stretch across the semi-arid landscape. The area offers no urban amenities — residents rely on nearby towns such as Cloncurry or Mount Isa for all services, shopping, and medical care. The locality appeals to those who embrace the solitude and self-reliance of true outback living.
Fielding falls under postcode 4825 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Barkly electorate.
