About Maroon
Maroon is a quiet rural locality nestled in Queensland's Scenic Rim Region, approximately 114 kilometres southwest of Brisbane CBD and 26 kilometres south of Boonah. Covering over 116 square kilometres of hilly terrain, it recorded a population of around 152 people in the 2021 census, giving it an exceptionally low population density. The area sits at the southern end of the Dugandan Range and is framed by the rugged peaks of the Main Range and Mount Barney National Park.

The nearby Maroon Dam (Lake Moogerah) offers fishing, camping, and watersports, making it a popular weekend escape for people from Ipswich and Brisbane.
