About Glenfern

Glenfern is a small rural locality in South East Queensland, situated in the South Burnett region near Nanango, approximately 165 kilometres north-west of Brisbane. Covering around 14 square kilometres, this quiet locality sits within the Blair federal electorate and the Nanango state electorate. With a population of just 11 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, Glenfern is one of Queensland's smallest localities by population, characterised by agricultural land and bushland scenery typical of the South Burnett hinterland.

The surrounding South Burnett region is known for its wineries, sunflower farms, and peanut growing, and Glenfern residents enjoy a relaxed rural lifestyle amid this productive agricultural landscape. The township of Nanango, the nearest service centre, provides essential shops, schools, and community facilities. The area has a median postcode income around $47,000, reflective of the rural and agricultural workforce. Those who call Glenfern home typically value space, privacy, and connection to the land over urban convenience.
