In the 2021 census, the locality of Kerry had a population of 306 people. The Nindooinbah pastoral run was originally selected in the early 1840s by Alfred Compigne, and was subsequently purchased by William Duckett White. The White family variously owned and leased the whole of the land from the present town of Beaudesert as well as a large proportion of the land running from Beaudesert to the shores of the Pacific Ocean, in the neighbourhood of Nerang, Southport, and Coomera. This large land holding was cut up into smaller properties. In 1877, 12,000 acres was resumed from the Nooininbah and Kerrylarabah pastoral runs and offered for selection on 17 April 1877. Eventually Nindooimbah was reduced to an area of about 18,000 acres, of which a further 9,500 acres was sold to William Collins.
