About May Downs
May Downs is a vast rural locality in the Isaac Region of Central Queensland, covering an expansive 1,540 square kilometres of cattle country. With a population of just 93 residents at the 2021 Census, it is one of the most sparsely populated localities in the region. The postcode median taxable income of $84,393, well above average, reflects the productive pastoral and mining economy of the Isaac Region.
The Fitzroy Developmental Road forms the western boundary of the locality, while the Isaac River runs along the eastern boundary, providing the landscape with its characteristic open grasslands and river flats. The nearest town is Middlemount, approximately 50 kilometres to the south, which serves as the local centre for shopping and services. The area is firmly embedded in Queensland's cattle and mining heartland, appealing to those who embrace a remote, self-sufficient rural lifestyle.
May Downs falls under postcode 4746 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Burdekin electorate.
