Approximately 90km from Jundah towards Yaraka is the historic site of the shanty immortalised in Banjo Paterson's poem "A Bush Christening", not far from the ruins of the Cobb & Co pub and the lonely grave of goldminer Richard Magoffin who perished in 1885.

To visit this historic site and if you are travelling from Jundah; take the Quilpie- Retreat road as far as the crossroads at Retreat station, turn left onto the Retreat - Yaraka road and travel approximately 55.9km, take the turn off to your left and travel a further 4.4km to the Shanty turn off (this time on your right) Magee's Shanty is in about 500m.

If you miss the turn off from the Retreat - Yaraka Road, you know you have gone to far if you reach Powell's Creek (this is just past the turn off over a grid).

Richard Magoffin's grave can also been found not far from the shanty site.
