Eaglefield is a rural locality in the Isaac Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Eaglefield had "no people or a very low population".[1]
The Suttor River forms the western boundary of the locality. The Suttor Developmental Road passes through the locality from east (Burton) to west (Mount Coolon) crossing the Suttor River on the western boundary. The Goonyella – Abbot Point line (GAP railway line) passes through the locality from north (Suttor) to south-east (Moranbah) to service the North Goonyella coal mine in Moranbah.[3] The Suttor Creek railway station serves the locality (21°24′40″S 147°51′43″E / 21.4110°S 147.8619°E).[4]
The land is a mixture of freehold and leasehold and mostly has been cleared for low density cattle grazing; however, mining activities have been proposed for the locality.[5]
