About Wetheron
Wetheron is a small rural locality and former railway town in the North Burnett Region of Queensland, located approximately 251 kilometres north-west of Brisbane near the Burnett River. The locality spans around 126 square kilometres of hilly grazing country in the region surrounding the historic town of Gayndah. As of the 2021 census, Wetheron had a population of just 40 people, reflecting its status as a quiet rural community with deep ties to the pastoral history of the North Burnett.
The Mungar Junction to Monto Branch Railway historically passed through Wetheron, with the old Wetheron railway station serving as a link for the agricultural produce of the surrounding district. Today the area is used primarily for cattle grazing and mixed farming, with the township of Gayndah providing the nearest shops, schools, and services around 20 kilometres away. Wetheron suits those seeking a deeply rural lifestyle in Queensland's North Burnett Region, known for its citrus orchards, cattle properties, and warm climate.
Wetheron falls under postcode 4625 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Callide electorate.
