About Hamilton Creek
Hamilton Creek is a small rural locality in the Rockhampton Region of Central Queensland, situated along the Burnett Highway approximately 100 kilometres south-west of Rockhampton. The locality recorded a population of 76 in the 2021 Census, spread across just over 2 square kilometres of grassland and cleared pastoral land. Its character is quintessentially Central Queensland — open, agricultural, and unhurried.

Banana, the nearest town roughly 20 km to the north, provides basic services including a school, fuel and grocery supplies. Hamilton Creek has a modest historical footprint, with its Provisional School dating back to 1908, reflecting over a century of rural settlement in the area.
