Wondai is on the Bunya Highway, about 25 km north of Kingaroy and 230 km north-west of Brisbane. Around 2,100 people live here, in cattle and grain country with a working hardwood timber industry (South Burnett Rail Trail).

What the market has been doing The Wondai median house price was $492,500 over the 12 months to June

Kumbia is a small town on the Bunya Highway, between Kingaroy and the Bunya Mountains. The highway is its main street, known in town as Bell Street. About 301 people lived in the locality at the 2021 census. The South Burnett Regional Council puts it about 32 km south-west of Kingaroy, in the foothills of the range. A bit of history Kumbia was once part of Taabinga Station. The Queensland Government auctioned 44 town lots in July 1912, each about 1,000 m². A post office follo
