About Nine Mile

Nine Mile is a sparsely populated rural locality in Central Queensland, situated approximately 20 kilometres south-west of Rockhampton within the Rockhampton Regional Council area. With a population of just 84 residents recorded in the 2021 census spread across nearly 130 square kilometres, it is one of the most lightly settled localities in the region. The area is characterised by open pastoral land and dry eucalypt woodland typical of the Central Queensland interior.

The lifestyle in Nine Mile centres on rural and agricultural activities, with the surrounding landscape used primarily for cattle grazing — an industry that has defined the Rockhampton region for generations. Residents rely on Rockhampton's full range of urban services for shopping, healthcare, and education, with the city accessible via a short drive along regional roads. The broader Rockhampton area offers the Capricorn Coast beaches at Yeppoon and the famous Fitzroy River for fishing and outdoor recreation.
