About Weengallon

Weengallon is a remote rural locality in the Goondiwindi Region of Queensland, situated about 483 kilometres west-southwest of Brisbane and 133 kilometres west of Goondiwindi. It covers a vast 856 square kilometres of semi-arid grazing land along the Queensland–New South Wales border region. The 2021 census recorded just 46 residents, reflecting the extreme sparsity of this outback pastoral landscape.

The local economy is driven entirely by broad-acre cropping and cattle and sheep grazing, which have sustained the region since European settlement in the 19th century. The nearest significant services are found at St George, about 67 kilometres to the northeast, and Goondiwindi to the east. Weengallon epitomises the quiet self-sufficiency of far western Queensland, where wide skies and agricultural seasons shape daily life.

Weengallon falls under postcode 4497 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Warrego electorate.
