About Clumber

Clumber is a quiet rural locality in the Scenic Rim Region of Queensland, situated approximately 86 kilometres south-west of Brisbane within the Scenic Rim Regional Council area. The locality covers 56 square kilometres of hilly farming and grazing country near the Great Dividing Range, and is particularly notable for its proximity to Spicers Gap — a historic mountain pass over the range. With a 2021 Census population of 91 residents in around 34 dwellings, Clumber is a sparsely settled community characteristic of the Scenic Rim's outer rural fringe.

The locality sits within one of Queensland's most scenic inland regions, surrounded by the rugged terrain and bush landscapes that define the Scenic Rim. Everyday services are accessed in the nearby towns of Aratula (to the north-east) and Boonah, the region's main service centre, which offers a supermarket, schools, medical services, and cafes. The broader Scenic Rim area is popular with bushwalkers, campers, and nature lovers, with Main Range National Park and Lake Moogerah within reach. Residents rely on private vehicles for all daily travel, as there is no public transport serving the locality.
