Map of Tolga, QLD 4882

Tolga is a rural town and locality in the Tablelands Region, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, the locality of Tolga had a population of 3,177 people.

It is the centre of the region's peanut industry and is home to the Big Peanut (17.2032°S 145.4760°E / -17.2032; 145.4760 (The Big Peanut)).



Tolga is located on the Atherton Tableland. The Kennedy Highway traverses the locality from the north-west to the south of the locality, passing through the town which is in the southern part of the locality. To the north-west of the town is a large residential development which is marketed under the names of Tandara, Rangeview and Panorama Views.

Mapee is a neighbourhood within the centre of the locality (17.1901°S 145.4677°E / -17.1901; 145.4677 (Mapee)). Yadjin is a neighbourhood in the south-east of the locality (17.2166°S 145.5°E / -17.2166; 145.5 (Yadjin)).

The Barron River forms the north-east boundary of the locality. The south-western boundary of the locality is the Great Dividing Range which creates the drainage divide that separates the drainage basin of the Barron River (which flows to the Coral Sea) from that of the Mitchell River (which flows to the Gulf of Carpentaria).

The northern and eastern parts of Tolga are relatively flat land used for growing crops. The western parts are more mountainous (creating the drainage divide) and are mostly undeveloped. Bones Knob is a peak to the west of the town (17.2166°S 145.4441°E / -17.2166; 145.4441 (Bones Knob)) at 962 metres (3,156 ft) above sea level.

The Tolga Scrub on the southern side of town (within the locality of Atherton, 17.2367°S 145.4794°E / -17.2367; 145.4794 (Tolga Scrub)) is one of the last remaining areas of Mabi rainforest on the Atherton Tableland.
