About Loch Lomond

Loch Lomond is a small rural locality in the Southern Downs Region of Queensland, situated approximately 21 kilometres south-east of Warwick and around 174 kilometres south-west of Brisbane. With a population of 119 residents spread across 69 square kilometres, the locality has a very low density that reflects its agricultural character. The median household income is below the national average, consistent with the broader rural Southern Downs economy centred on grazing and farming.

The locality takes its name from the famous Loch Lomond in Scotland, a nod to the European heritage of early settlers in the Southern Downs. The surrounding landscape is characterised by open pastoral country and undulating terrain typical of the Darling Downs hinterland. Residents rely on nearby Warwick for shopping, schools, health services, and community facilities, making private vehicle transport essential for daily life.
