About Kitoba

Kitoba is a small rural locality in the South Burnett region of Queensland, situated approximately 15 kilometres south of Kingaroy. Covering around 33 square kilometres of mixed farming land, the locality had a population of just 17 according to the 2021 Census. The South Burnett is renowned as Queensland's peanut capital, and Kitoba sits within this productive agricultural belt characterised by red volcanic soils and a warm temperate climate.

The locality is home to farming families engaged in peanut growing, beef cattle, and mixed cropping — activities that define South Burnett's rural economy. Residents depend on Kingaroy for shops, schools, and services, making vehicle ownership essential. Kitoba offers an unhurried rural lifestyle for those who prefer the quietude of inland Queensland farming country with the regional conveniences of Kingaroy just a short drive away.
