Herberton Tablelands

9,556 km²

Huge gaps in accessibility define Herberton Tablelands, which is far more car-dependent than the rest of Queensland. This vast rural region is sparsely populated across its 9,556 square kilometres, making it very different from the state's more urban areas. It is a place where basic services and shops are almost never within walking distance for residents. The community is rural and spread out, with a landscape that is slightly steeper than the Queensland average.
