Pozieres is a rural locality in the Southern Downs Region, Queensland, Australia.

[3] Following World War I, Pozieres was one of the Pikedale soldier settlements established in the Granite Belt area of the Darling Downs.

The line was not built to convey passengers but rather to transport fruit from the soldiers' orchards to markets in Brisbane and Sydney.

[5][6] The name Pozieres comes from the Pozieres railway station, named by the Queensland Railways Department in 1920, which in turn was suggested by surveyor George Grant and the Returned Soldiers and Sailors Imperial League of Australia, commemorating the famous World War I Battle of Pozières.

[9][10] In November 1921, an Anglican minister, Reverend Alan Thompson, was appointed to the soldier settlement towns but at June 1922, the parishioners were lobbying for a church as services were being held in private homes.
