Upland is a former rural locality in the Barcaldine Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, Upland had a population of 12 people.[1]
On 22 November 2019 the Queensland Government decided to amalgamate the localities in the Barcaldine Region, resulting in five expanded localities based on the larger towns: Alpha, Aramac, Barcaldine, Jericho and Muttaburra. Upland was incorporated into Aramac.[3][4][5]
Upland is within the Desert Uplands area of Central West Queensland. In the centre of the locality is Lake Dunn, a small freshwater lake.[6] The principal land use is cattle grazing.[7]
The locality is bounded to the north-west by Lake Galilee, a large salt lake.[7]
