Mona Park
104 km²
A small population of just 97 people defines Mona Park, a rural Queensland community where families are the core. The area is noticeably older than the national average, yet it has a surprisingly high proportion of children, with nearly a quarter of residents under 15. This mix creates a place where large households are common and family-oriented roles are central. It is a wealthy, car-dependent pocket where most residents work in agriculture or management.
Household incomes here are high, yet Mona Park's schools draw a notably less advantaged community.
