Overview

Tolga is a rural town on the Atherton Tableland in Queensland, home to 3,177 residents according to the 2021 Census. It serves as the centre of the region’s peanut industry and proudly displays the Big Peanut landmark. The Kennedy Highway runs north‑west to south through the town, linking it to surrounding districts, while a large residential precinct to the north‑west, marketed as Tandara, Rangeview and Panorama Views, offers a mix of new homes alongside the established neighbourhoods of Mapee and Yadjin.

The community enjoys regular events such as the Tolga Markets at the racecourse each first Sunday of the month, and facilities including Tolga State School, the QCWA Hall, and heritage sites like the Rocky Creek World War Two Hospital Complex (0.7 km away). Nearby Atherton provides secondary schooling and additional services, complementing Tolga’s blend of rural lifestyle and accessible amenities.
