About Brigooda

Brigooda is a remote rural locality in Queensland's South Burnett, north-west of Kingaroy and near the Boondooma Dam catchment. It has a very small population spread across a large area of grazing and natural bushland. The locality's character is strongly agricultural and low-density, with minimal urban development. Water features and rural roads shape the area's geography and land use.
