Mount Moffatt

About Mount Moffatt

Mount Moffatt is a vast and remote rural locality in the Maranoa Region of outback Queensland, situated approximately 714 kilometres north-west of Brisbane and within the boundaries of the Carnarvon Gorge National Park system. With a recorded population of just 14 people in the 2021 census, it is one of the most sparsely settled localities in Queensland, covering an area of over 2,120 square kilometres. The locality is defined by dramatic sandstone landscapes, ancient gorges, and rich Aboriginal cultural heritage that has drawn visitors for generations.

Life in Mount Moffatt is deeply connected to the land, with the area encompassing a section of the Carnarvon National Park that is renowned for its walking trails, wildlife, and ancient rock art. The Mount Moffatt section of the park offers a more remote and less visited experience than the main gorge, attracting serious bushwalkers and nature enthusiasts seeking solitude. The nearest town is Injune, roughly 146 kilometres away, making self-sufficiency and a love of the outback essential for those who call this locality home.

Mount Moffatt falls under postcode 4465 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Warrego electorate.
