Pelham is a rural locality in the Western Downs Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Pelham had "no people or a very low population".[1]
The Great Dividing Range loosely forms the north-western, northern, and north-eastern boundaries of the locality, putting the locality within the Murray-Darling drainage basin.[3]
Quandong State Forest is in the north-west of the locality, while Barakula State Forest is in the east and south of the locality and extends into neighbouring Barakula to the west and neighbouring Hookswood to the south.[4]
Dogwood Creek rises in the north of the locality and flows south-east into Barakula, from where it returns to Pelham forming part of its south-eastern boundary and then exits to Hookwood to the south.[3]
Apart from the state forests, the predominant land use is grazing on native vegetation.[4]
