About Byrnestown

Byrnestown is a small rural locality in the North Burnett Region of Queensland, situated approximately 22.9 kilometres north-west of Coalstoun Lakes and 25 kilometres north-east of Gayndah. Covering around 40 square kilometres, the area has a very small population of approximately 27 residents and is set in the gently undulating terrain of the North Burnett hinterland. The locality is steeped in local history, with the O'Neill's Store photograph from 1919 serving as a historical record of early settlement in the area. Byrnestown is located in the Callide state electorate and lies about 320 kilometres north-north-west of Brisbane.

Byrnestown is a quiet rural community where agriculture — primarily cattle grazing and horticultural production — forms the backbone of local livelihoods. The North Burnett Region is known for its citrus orchards and macadamia farms, with Gayndah recognised as the 'Orange Capital of Australia'. Residents travel to Gayndah or Mundubbera for everyday services, with Bundaberg and Maryborough each about 125 kilometres away for larger shopping or healthcare needs. The locality offers a peaceful, close-knit farming lifestyle typical of outback Queensland, with warm dry summers and mild winters.
