About Stewarton
Stewarton is a sparsely populated rural locality in the Central Highlands Region of Queensland, situated approximately 23 kilometres south of Blackwater and 216 kilometres west-southwest of Rockhampton. Covering a vast 750 square kilometres, the locality had just 52 residents recorded in the 2021 census, reflecting its extremely low population density of 0.07 persons per square kilometre. The area is classified under the Flynn federal electorate and the Central Highlands Regional Council. Stewarton sits within a region historically shaped by coal mining and broad-acre grazing.
Life in Stewarton revolves around the agricultural and mining industries that define Central Queensland's economy. The nearby town of Blackwater provides essential services including supermarkets, schools, medical facilities and fuel. The landscape is characterised by open woodland and grassland typical of the Central Highlands, offering a true outback Queensland experience. Two historical railway localities, Kinrola and Tieri, are in the broader area, underscoring the region's ties to coal transport infrastructure.
Stewarton falls under postcode 4702 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Rockhampton electorate.
