About Womalilla
Womalilla is a remote rural locality in the Maranoa Region of south-west Queensland, situated in the broad pastoral landscapes west of Mitchell and within the Western railway corridor. The locality covers an extensive area of approximately 1,219 square kilometres of semi-arid grazing country, and the 2021 Census recorded a population of just 72 residents. Womalilla falls within the federal electorate of Maranoa and state electorate of Warrego, which together encompass the vast outback farming and grazing heartland of south-west Queensland.
Womalilla's character is defined by its wide open pastoral landscapes and its position on the Western railway line running west through the Maranoa Region. The locality is highly rural in nature, with cattle and sheep grazing the principal land use across its expansive area. Residents rely on the regional service town of Mitchell (to the east) or Roma for access to shops, schools, medical services, and other amenities, with the Warrego Highway providing the main road connection across the region.
Womalilla falls under postcode 4465 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Warrego electorate.
