About Jackson South
Jackson South is a very small rural locality in the Western Downs Region of Queensland, situated near the township of Jackson, approximately 250 kilometres west of Brisbane and 30 kilometres south-west of Dalby. With a population of just 17 people according to the 2021 Census, it is one of Queensland's most sparsely settled localities, covering predominantly broad-acre agricultural land on the fertile Darling Downs. The area falls within the Western Downs Regional Council and shares the 4426 postcode with the slightly larger settlement of Jackson.
Life in Jackson South is quintessentially rural, centred on farming and pastoral activities including grain cropping and cattle grazing across the wide Darling Downs plains. The community is extremely tight-knit, with residents relying on the nearby town of Dalby for schooling, healthcare, shopping, and other services. There are no shops, schools, or public transport within Jackson South itself. The flat, productive agricultural landscape and clear outback skies attract those seeking solitude and a deep connection to the land.
Jackson South falls under postcode 4426 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Warrego electorate.
