About Yarranlea
Yarranlea is a rural locality on the Darling Downs in the Toowoomba Region of Queensland, situated approximately 8 kilometres west of Pittsworth and around 45 kilometres south-west of Toowoomba. With a population of 82 residents spread across 58 square kilometres, it is a small agricultural community on some of Queensland's most productive farming land. The postcode area has a median taxable income of around $40,773, reflecting the local economy's focus on broadacre cropping and grazing.
The flat, fertile black-soil plains of Yarranlea support extensive grain and cotton farming, and the locality is home to the Yarranlea Solar Farm, one of Queensland's renewable energy projects. The South Western railway line passes through the area, connecting Pittsworth to Brookstead, though passenger services no longer operate. Residents rely on nearby Pittsworth for primary and secondary schooling, shopping, and community services. Darling Downs Engineering & Hydraulics, located at the corner of Tummaville Road and Gore Highway, serves the surrounding agricultural community.
