Wahoon

About Wahoon

Wahoon is an uninhabited rural locality in the South Burnett Region of Queensland, situated approximately 34 kilometres north-west of Murgon and adjacent to the Stonelands locality in the pastoral hinterland of the upper South Burnett. The locality covers 90.3 square kilometres of open savanna woodland, brigalow scrub and cattle grazing country and recorded a population of zero at the 2021 census, confirming its status as purely pastoral land without permanent habitation. Wahoon shares postcode 4625 with the broader Murgon and South Burnett district, reflecting its position in one of Queensland's most productive but thinly settled agricultural regions. The landscape features the red and brown soils of the South Burnett uplands, supporting extensive cattle grazing enterprises on large pastoral properties.

Wahoon and its surrounding South Burnett district form part of Queensland's historic pastoral zone, where large cattle stations have operated since the 19th century on the fertile soils between the coastal ranges and the western plains. Murgon (approximately 34 kilometres south-east) is the nearest service town, providing supermarkets, schools, hospital and community facilities for the northern South Burnett. Kingaroy (approximately 68 kilometres south) is the regional capital of the South Burnett, known as the 'peanut capital of Australia' and offering expanded services and the South Burnett wine trail. The area's remoteness, agricultural heritage and wide Queensland skies appeal to those engaged in cattle and broadacre farming on the region's extensive pastoral properties.

Wahoon falls under postcode 4625 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Callide electorate.
