The highest earning postcodes in Queensland are dominated  by coal mining towns and affluent Brisbane suburbs. 

A Property Observer review of the Australian Tax Office's taxation statistics report has revealed the ten Queensland postcodes with the highest mean income.

Half of the postcodes featured on the list are towns servicing coal and coal-seam gas mining areas. The rest are wealthy Brisbane suburbs and the postcode covering Royal Brisbane Hospital.
