About Springlands
Springlands is a sparsely populated rural locality in Queensland's Whitsunday Region, located approximately 107 kilometres south-west of Bowen and 294 kilometres north-west of Mackay. Covering nearly 1,800 square kilometres of inland Queensland, the landscape is characterised by dry eucalypt woodland and cattle grazing country. The 2021 census recorded just 39 residents across this vast area.
Station life and cattle grazing define the lifestyle of Springlands, a true outback Queensland locality. The nearest significant town is Collinsville, roughly 40 kilometres to the east, which provides a primary school, shops, and community services. Residents are self-reliant and well-accustomed to the isolation that comes with living in one of Queensland's larger and more remote localities.
Springlands falls under postcode 4804 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Burdekin electorate.
