Dunmore is a rural locality in the Toowoomba Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Dunmore had a population of 39 people.[1]
About half of land area of the locality is protected within the Dunmore State Forest to the west, the Western Creek State Forest in the south-west and the Kumbarilla State Forest in the north-east.[3]
Apart from the protected areas, the land use is a mixture of grazing on native vegetation and crop growing with feedlots in the centre of the locality.[3]
History
The locality takes its name from the parish name, which in turn was named after the pastoral run held by Robert Logan in the 1840s. The run might have been named in honour of Presbyterian minister John Dunmore Lang.[2]
