About Hannaford

Hannaford is a remote rural locality in the Western Downs Region of Queensland, situated approximately 344 kilometres west of Brisbane and 217 kilometres west of Toowoomba. The locality covers a very large area of 1,135 square kilometres of flat, semi-arid pastoral land, with a 2021 Census population of just 135 residents. It lies about 45 kilometres west-south-west of Tara and falls within the federal electorate of Maranoa, reflecting its deep rural character.

The local economy is driven by cattle grazing and dryland cropping, with large agricultural properties defining the landscape. Residents depend on Tara (approximately 45 kilometres east) and the larger centre of Dalby (134 kilometres east) for services, shopping, and medical care. There is no public transport infrastructure, and private vehicle travel is the only practical option for getting around. Hannaford offers an extremely quiet and isolated lifestyle that suits those connected to the land in this part of Queensland's Darling Downs and Western Downs region.

Hannaford falls under postcode 4406 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.
