Mount Mceuen

27 km²

A stark contrast to national trends defines Mount Mceuen, where a very small population of just 34 people lives in a sparsely populated setting. The area is far older than the typical Queensland community, with over a third of residents aged 65 and over, yet it also has a high proportion of children. This mix of ages, combined with a high rate of volunteering, suggests a quiet, supportive rural environment where families and seniors coexist.
