Located in Far West Queensland, in the heart of the Channel Country, the Barcoo is one of the more remote shires with an area of 61,974 square kilometres in far Western Queensland, incorporating the townships of Jundah, Stonehenge and Windorah.

The Barcoo Shire lays claim to the most exceptionally unique place in Australia, and the world. It is the only place where two prominent and significate inland rivers meet to form a creek. The Thomson and Barcoo rivers become Cooper's Creek.

Rich in history, the Barcoo Shire has an outback experience for everyone. Along with unique rustic landscapes, distinctive flora and fauna, spectacular wildlife, freshwater fishing, golf, bird watching and stunning sunsets, the Barcoo is also home to Magee’s Shanty, birth place of the famous Bush Christening renowned by Banjo Paterson.

The welcoming outback towns of Windorah, Jundah and Stonehenge can be easily accessed via sealed roads and are located within a 300 kilometre drive to the major towns of Longreach or Quilpie.

Barcoo Shire is the gateway to Birdsville, Bedourie, Innaminka, Quilpie, Longreach and Winton.
