About Crediton
Crediton is a small rural locality in the Mackay Region of Queensland, situated approximately 96 kilometres west of Mackay in the hinterland near the Pioneer Valley. With a population of just 109 (2021 Census) spread across a vast 308 square kilometres, it is one of Queensland's most sparsely populated localities. The area lies near the Eungella Range and is close to the Broken River, which runs through the Eungella National Park — a World Heritage listed area famous for platypus sightings.
Crediton is an agricultural and pastoral locality characterised by sugarcane farming, cattle grazing, and tropical horticulture. The landscape transitions from the productive Pioneer Valley floors to the rugged ranges near Eungella. Residents enjoy a remote rural lifestyle with access to the spectacular Eungella National Park nearby, known for its platypus viewing platform at Broken River and diverse rainforest wildlife. The nearest town of significant size is Mirani, about 58 kilometres to the east, with Mackay providing the full range of services for the region.
Crediton falls under postcode 4757 and is governed by the Mackay Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Capricornia, while state elections fall under the Mirani electorate.
