About Murrays Bridge

Murrays Bridge is a small rural locality in the Southern Downs Region of Queensland, situated approximately 10-15 minutes east of Warwick and within easy reach of Killarney. Covering approximately 47 square kilometres at around 500 metres above sea level, the locality is entirely freehold agricultural land, principally used for grazing with some cropping near the Condamine River. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 106 residents, reflecting its sparse rural settlement character.

The locality is defined by the Condamine River, which flows through from south-east to north-west bringing tree-lined banks, deep permanent waterholes, and fertile black-soil river flats suited to irrigation farming. The Warwick-Killarney Road passes through the area, connecting residents to the services of Warwick — the Southern Downs' main centre — where supermarkets, schools, and a hospital are found. Murray's Bridge State School, located at Warwick Killarney Road, has historically served the local community. The area offers a peaceful rural lifestyle appreciated for its wide open spaces, productive farmland, and proximity to the Southern Downs' scenic hinterland.

Murrays Bridge falls under postcode 4370 and is governed by the Southern Downs Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Maranoa, while state elections fall under the Southern Downs electorate.
