About Weribone

Weribone is a small rural locality in the Maranoa region of south-west Queensland, situated in the Mitchell district approximately 100 kilometres north-west of Roma. With just 16 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, Weribone is an extremely sparsely populated area defined by vast brigalow and mulga scrublands typical of the Maranoa pastoral belt. The locality encompasses several large pastoral properties engaged in beef cattle and sheep grazing.

Life in Weribone is quintessentially outback Queensland — centred on the land, the seasons, and the pastoral industry. The nearest town of any size is Roma, a regional hub that provides essential services including schools, hospitals, and retail for surrounding grazing communities. The locality has no public transport and is entirely dependent on private vehicles, with the Mitchell Highway providing the key road connection through the region. Weribone typifies the remote, self-sufficient character of the Queensland pastoral interior, where properties can span tens of thousands of hectares.

Weribone falls under postcode 4417 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Warrego electorate.
