About Kinleymore
Kinleymore is a small rural locality in the South Burnett Region of Queensland, situated in the hinterland between the towns of Murgon and Proston. The locality covers approximately 48 square kilometres of predominantly agricultural land, and was named after three of the area's original settlers whose surnames — Kinnear, Leys, and Morey — were combined to create the name. With a 2021 Census population of 69 residents, it remains one of the quieter rural localities in the South Burnett area.
Kinleymore has a strong pastoral and farming heritage, with grazing and cropping typical of the South Burnett hinterland. The locality once had its own railway station on the Proston line, which ran through its centre, though that section of line closed in January 1993. Nearby towns including Murgon and Kingaroy — the largest centre in the South Burnett — provide essential services including shopping, healthcare at Kingaroy Hospital, and education. Residents rely on private vehicles for all travel, and the area has a close-knit rural community character.
Kinleymore falls under postcode 4613 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Nanango electorate.
