About Hookswood
Hookswood is a vast rural locality in Queensland's Darling Downs region, covering approximately 417 square kilometres approximately 270 kilometres west of Brisbane in the western Darling Downs. With a 2021 Census population of 58 residents, it is a sparsely settled grazing and cropping community in the Miles or Chinchilla district. The expansive landscape is characterised by black soil plains and brigalow scrub country typical of the western Darling Downs.
The towns of Miles or Chinchilla, approximately 30 to 50 kilometres away, provide the nearest shopping, schools, and community services for Hookswood residents. The region is known for its beef cattle, cotton, and grain farming, as well as its gas industry around Chinchilla. There is no public transport and a private vehicle is essential for all daily activities. The remote, wide open pastoral landscape offers a classic outback Queensland experience.
