About Marmor

Marmor is a sparsely settled rural locality in the Rockhampton Region of Central Queensland, located approximately 45 kilometres south of Rockhampton city within the Rockhampton Regional Council area. Covering a vast 138 square kilometres of open grazing country and dry tropical bushland, the locality is one of the more remote settled areas in the region. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 208 residents across 81 dwellings, reflecting its character as a quiet pastoral community well away from urban services.

The landscape around Marmor is distinctive, with the locality bounded to the north by the salt lakes of Port Alma and to the east and south-east by Raglan Creek and its tributaries, creating a mix of pastoral land and wetland margins typical of Central Queensland's Capricorn Coast hinterland. Residents travel to Rockhampton — approximately 45 kilometres north — for all major services, including shopping, healthcare, and education, making car ownership essential.
