About Monogorilby
Monogorilby is a tiny rural locality in the North Burnett region of Queensland, located approximately 370 km northwest of Brisbane. With a recorded population of just 33 people spread across a vast 231 km², it is one of Queensland's most sparsely populated localities. The area sits within the Callide state electorate and Maranoa federal electorate, reflecting its deep agricultural hinterland character. Surrounding landscape consists predominantly of grazing country, dry open woodland, and low-lying plains typical of the Burnett River catchment.
Monogorilby is a true outback Queensland farming community, where life centres on cattle and grain agriculture. The nearest substantial town is Gayndah, around 30 km away, which provides basic services including a school, supermarket, and medical centre. Like many remote Queensland localities, Monogorilby has experienced long-term population decline as farming becomes increasingly mechanised and young people move to regional cities for education and employment. The area offers a quiet, self-sufficient rural lifestyle for those who value wide open spaces and tight-knit agricultural community networks.
Monogorilby falls under postcode 4626 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Callide electorate.
