About Upper Yarraman
Upper Yarraman is a small rural locality in the Toowoomba Region of Queensland, situated on the Darling Downs approximately 117 kilometres north of Toowoomba and about 180 kilometres north-west of Brisbane. The New England Highway passes through the locality, providing the main arterial connection to the nearby town of Yarraman and further north towards Kingaroy and the South Burnett. With a 2021 Census population of just 80 residents spread across 41.6 square kilometres, Upper Yarraman is a lightly settled agricultural locality within the Cooyar Creek catchment, a tributary of the Brisbane River.
The locality shares a postcode with the adjacent Yarraman township, which provides essential services including a state school, shops, and community facilities. Upper Yarraman has a modest local history, with the Upper Yarraman Farmers' Hall — originally the Phoenix Picture Theatre from Blackbutt — relocated and re-erected at its current site in 1945. The surrounding landscape of open farmland, state forest corridors, and the nearby South Burnett region make it appealing to those seeking a genuinely rural lifestyle close to Yarraman's small community.
Upper Yarraman falls under postcode 4614 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Nanango electorate.
