Nive is a rural locality in the Shire of Murweh, Queensland, Australia.
[1] The Landsborough Highway runs through from south (Augathella) to north (Yandarlo).
The river in turn was named by Sir Thomas Mitchell, the New South Wales Surveyor-General, on 13 September 1846, after the Nive River in south-western France, where Lord Wellington engaged in the Battle of the Nive in the Peninsula War in 1813.
[2] Nive Downs was a huge sheep station that was broken up into home blocks and allocated to returned servicemen in a ballot after the 2nd world war.
The nearest primary school is Augathella State School in neighbouring Augathella, although some parts of the north and west of Nive might be too distant for a daily commute.
