Pittsworth is a town located in the Darling Downs region of southern Queensland, Australia. Located south-west of Brisbane via the Warrego Highway, south-west of Toowoomba and is a service centre for the surrounding agricultural area. The Toowoomba Regional Council reported the population of Pittsworth was 5503 in 2013.〔 For many years, Pittsworth was the administrative centre of the Pittsworth Shire. In March 2008 the Pittsworth Shire amalgamated with eight other shires to form the Toowoomba Region. ==Geography== Pittsworth township is situated on the basalt upland section of the Darling Downs which is undulating in nature and hosts mixed farming and intensive animal industries. Nearby is an alluvial flood plain, mostly leading directly to the North Branch of the Condamine River. This flood plain provides some of the best quality grains and cotton in Australia and utilises overland flood flows for irrigation purposes. Climate of the Pittsworth district is temperate with large variations between summer and winter due to it being some inland and 520 metres above sea level. Average rainfall for Pittsworth is 695 mm per annum, with the higher falls occurring in the summer months.
