About Coomrith
Coomrith is a vast, sparsely populated rural locality in Queensland's Darling Downs region, covering approximately 625 square kilometres of open grazing country. With just 52 residents spread across this enormous area, it is one of Queensland's most remote localities, situated roughly 90 kilometres southeast of Roma in the Maranoa electorate. The landscape is characterised by open pastoral land, scrubby woodland, and seasonal creek systems typical of inland Queensland.
Life in Coomrith revolves entirely around agriculture and station work, with cattle grazing and dryland cropping forming the backbone of the local economy. Residents are self-sufficient by necessity, with the nearest town services found in Miles or Surat. The community is tight-knit despite the distances involved, with a deep connection to the land and a quiet outback way of life that has changed little over generations.
Coomrith falls under postcode 4422 and is governed by the Western Downs Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Maranoa, while state elections fall under the Warrego electorate.
