Hirstglen is a rural locality in the Toowoomba Region on the Darling Downs, Queensland, Australia.[3] In the 2021 census, Hirstglen had a population of 77 people.[2]
The northern and eastern boundary roughly follows the Great Dividing Range. The range separates the Murray-Darling drainage basin (including this location) from the Australian north-east coast drainage division which flows into the Coral Sea.[1] Part of the southern boundary is marked by Kings Creek, a tributary of the Condamine River.[1]
The Gatton–Clifton Road runs through from north to south, and the Greenmount-Hirstvale Road enters from the west.[4]
The land use is a mixture of grazing on native vegetation and crop growing.[1]
