Blackbutt, QLD 4314

We unfortunately have to drive through this town every time we want to go visit family. At first, the local racist graffiti found in the restrooms was alarming. However, the death stares from locals and the treatment from local businesses, such as the local bakery, have made this town a place we never want to stop at again. The difference between the white people being served in front of us, then the service we got, was vastly different and rude. No matter how polite we are, our treatment is always the same. We feel unsafe here. We have told many people about our encounters in this town and to our surprise, everyone who has lived in this town or knows of this town is well aware how racist the people who live here are. Just look around, you will never see a person of colour here and now we know why! We make sure we drive through this town with our car windows up and doors locked!

I frequent blackbutt for work and also as it is on our pathway to the coast. It is a great place to stop when you are on the road. The people are friendly and the pub and bakery are good places to grab a feed and a drink.

I dislike Blackbutt. Was nice when we first came here, but have soon learned the real side of the people here.

We purchased 5 acres and are building. We chose this area over many because of the location to Brisbane and airports and it is just removed enough from the city to feel remote. It also has excellent internet in spots. Also, how friendly people were. A lovely sense of community. Very polite and helpful trades people and so far we have been very impressed with how helpful the council has been. I think it is a perfect location for healthy grey nomads and people that work from home. Not close enough to university's or hospitals if you need them regularly. I don't know enough about the schools or kindergartens but they appear have community spirit. Nice mountain bike and horse riding trails. Good community activities to get involved in. No large shopping malls if you live to shop you will be dissatisfied. Nice cafe great pizza very friendly staff. A winning pie shop that people love. I don't eat pies :) but it is always full when I go by. The properties are still very affordable.

Blackbutt is a small country town which is out of the hustle and bustle. The land and houses are a great way to break into the market when you are just starting out.
So if you are wanting a nice quiet life style at a low cost this is a place and opportunity you want to look at.

Its a safe place with friendly caring people. There is a strong sense of community and almost everything you need is right there. Great place to raise children with respect for the environment.

lovely little town gateway to the granite belt, the locaLs a very friendly very nice, local art gallery in town, housing prices a still affordable but be quick a new shopping centre is coming soon.

Great little place if you just want to loaf like the centre link customers that were sent here
U really want to go ahead choose another town to live.
