About Mannuem

Mannuem is a small rural locality in the South Burnett Region of Queensland, situated approximately 22 kilometres north-west of Kingaroy and administered by the South Burnett Regional Council. With a population of just 87 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, the locality is sparsely settled across a land area of around 130 square kilometres of cleared agricultural country. The character of Mannuem is defined by its farming roots, with broad-acre cropping in the east and cattle grazing on native pastures in the west.

Day-to-day services and amenities are found in the nearby township of Kingaroy, which offers supermarkets, schools, medical facilities, and the South Burnett Regional Airport. The nearest primary schooling is at Kumbia State School in the adjoining locality to the south-west. Mannuem Creek gives the locality its name, and the rolling rural landscape is typical of the broader Darling Downs hinterland — appealing to those who value quiet, working-farm surroundings and a close-knit rural community.

Mannuem falls under postcode 4610 and is governed by the South Burnett Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Maranoa, while state elections fall under the Nanango electorate.
