About Corella

Corella is a small rural locality in the Gympie Region of south-east Queensland, situated approximately 10 kilometres north of Gympie and around 170 kilometres north of Brisbane. The locality covers approximately 13.7 square kilometres and recorded a population of 68 at the 2021 Census. The North Coast railway line passes through Corella from the south-east, and grazing on native vegetation and timber on the eastern side of the line characterises the land use.

To the west of the North Coast railway line, much of the land falls within the Curra State Forest — a large forested area extending into the neighbouring localities of Curra and Anderleigh. The closed Corella railway station is a remnant of the locality's earlier connection to the rail network. There are no schools or commercial services within Corella; the nearest primary school is at Chatsworth to the south-west, and Gympie provides secondary schools, supermarkets, health services, and community facilities. The locality suits those seeking a quiet rural acreage lifestyle within manageable distance of Gympie.

Corella falls under postcode 4570 and is governed by the Gympie Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Longman, while state elections fall under the Nanango electorate.
