About Tingoora
Tingoora is a small rural town and locality in the South Burnett Region of Queensland, situated approximately 249 kilometres northwest of Brisbane along the Bunya Highway within the South Burnett Council local government area. With a population of 272 at the 2021 Census across an area of nearly 20 square kilometres, Tingoora has a distinctly agricultural character, surrounded by the red-soil farming lands typical of the South Burnett hinterland. The locality's economy is anchored by mixed farming, including peanuts, grain, and cattle grazing, which have defined the area since European settlement.
Tingoora's quiet rural community is centred along the Bunya Highway corridor, with the South Burnett's main regional service hub of Kingaroy located approximately 27 kilometres to the southeast, offering schools, a hospital, shopping, and broader services. The iconic Bunya Mountains National Park — known for its ancient bunya pine forests, dramatic tablelands scenery, and extensive walking tracks — lies to the south and is a popular destination for campers and bushwalkers. Tingoora offers an affordable, close-knit lifestyle for those drawn to the peaceful rhythms of Queensland country living.
Tingoora falls under postcode 4608 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Nanango electorate.
