About Bulloo Shire Community Directory
The Bulloo Community Directory caters to one of Australia’s most sparsely populated local government areas, encompassing about 74,000 square kilometres of Channel Country in south‑west Queensland. Centred on the township of Thargomindah, the shire stretches to the borders of New South Wales and South Australia and relies on cattle grazing, tourism and oil and gas production. The directory consolidates information on health services, council facilities, school resources, social clubs and emergency contacts, enabling residents, station workers and travellers to find support and community groups in this remote outback region.

Bulloo Region Outline
Covering an immense swathe of south‑west Queensland, the Bulloo region is dominated by arid mulga plains, the Bulloo River and the small township of Thargomindah. Sheep, beef and opal mining sustain the hardy residents who greet visitors on long stretches of outback road. Two experiences beloved by locals include touring the historic hydroelectric plant in Thargomindah – one of the first of its kind in Australia – and watching colourful waterbirds flock to Lake Bindegolly National Park, especially after rare rain fills the lake.
Bulloo Shire Council has an approximate area of 74,000 km².
It is within the state electorate of Warrego.
