Moorland Qld 4670
A Neighbour for Years
Moorland is, well, that quiet corner of the Bundaberg Region that grows on you. Nestled about 21 km north-west of Bundaberg’s central business district, it's a low-population rural locality—just under 300 people calling it home. Imagine wide, open spaces, farmland as far as the eye can see, and that sense of a small community where everyone nods as you pass.
Landscape & Lifestyle
This is genuine countryside. The Kolan River winds along the western boundary, giving the place a peaceful inhale of green and blue. Surrounding lands are mostly fertile farms—sugarcane being the headline crop. You really feel connected to the rhythms of the land here.
Amenities & Daily Life
Now, there isn’t much in the way of shops or cafés—Moorland is all about a rural getaway vibe. For everyday essentials, heading into Bundaberg delivers grocery shops, cafés, medical centres, that kind of thing. But, five to ten minutes into Moore Park Beach or Gooburrum—both close by—you’ll find a few handy little spots, and of course, that beach air you won’t mind chasing on weekends.
Schools & Transport
Moorland itself doesn’t host any schools these days—its old state school closed long ago. Families typically send the kids to Moore Park Beach State School or Gooburrum State School for primary, and to Bundaberg North State High School for secondary education.
The North Coast railway skirts the eastern edge, including the now-abandoned Moorland station. Realistically, owning a car is pretty much essential here—daily life revolves around good roads and a reliable engine.
Property Market Snapshot
Properties tend toward rural, lifestyle acreage—some spanning hectares, with a few smaller farms or homesteads mixed in. Realestate.com.au lists around 135 properties currently for sale in the 4670 postcode area. Recent sold prices vary: one property on Hunts Crossing Road sold for roughly $2 million, another on Moorlands Road for around $960,000.
Given the rural nature, fluctuations in median house prices or buyer demand charts are less sharp here than in urban spots, but the appeal often lies in land size and privacy rather than tidy square-metre bargains.
Community & Character
In Moorland, folks look out for each other. You’ll find a friendly nod at the local events in nearby towns, maybe a community gathering at the Moore Park Beach hall or a weekend farmers’ market. Reviews mention it being “perfect for families, pets and quiet lifestyle”—clean, green, and neighbourly.
This is not the place for fast-paced city life. But if what one really wants is wide horizons, breathing space, and the sense that mornings begin with bird song and cane fields whispering in the breeze—this is it.
Why Moorland Stands Out
Let’s be honest, there’s a kind of subtle magic in living somewhere where the night sky isn’t drowned by lights, and the nearest neighbour might wave from across a boundary. It’s soothing, grounding.
Schools, shops and beach escapes are only a short drive away. Bundaberg brings all the essential conveniences—health, food, community—that pair so nicely with rural calm.
Homes—and more often, land parcels—offer a canvas: room for gardens, animals, or just wide-open breathing space. A slower rhythm, in a world that could do with slower moments.
Why we love Moorland
Because it’s quiet without being isolating, spacious without being sparse, and real—like living in a golden painting with room to stretch. Named Moorland, and yes, it feels like living on gently rolling moorland by the river, with just enough community nearby to feel rooted, not remote.
