Barcoo Area Insights

The Barcoo shire encompasses some of Australia’s most remote country, where the Cooper, Thomson and Barcoo rivers thread through channel country and the tiny settlements of Jundah, Stonehenge and Windorah. Cattle stations and red sandhills dominate the landscape, and evenings bring endless horizons painted with pastel light. Locals make the most of their isolation: families often camp and watch the sun set over the Windorah sandhills, and Jundah residents know a shady spot on the Thomson River where yellowbelly bite without another soul in sight.
