About Diamantina Shire Community Directory
The Diamantina Community Directory serves one of Australia’s most remote shires, a sweeping expanse of desert and channel country that includes the tiny settlements of Birdsville, Betoota and Bedourie. Known for the annual Birdsville Races and hot desert landscapes, the shire covers more than 94,000 square kilometres and has a population of around 300. The directory brings together essential information on health clinics, emergency services, council contacts, schools, sporting associations and events, making it easier for residents and the many travellers passing through to find assistance and community activities in this iconic outback region.

Diamantina Region
The Diamantina region takes in the remote outback towns of Birdsville and Bedourie along channels of the Diamantina River, where vast gibber plains and sand dunes create a striking landscape. Pastoralism, tourism and the famed Birdsville Races sustain its sparse population. Locals relax in the warm waters of the Bedourie artesian spa after dusty days and make the pilgrimage to climb Big Red, a towering dune near Birdsville, to watch sunsets painting the Simpson Desert in fiery hues.
Diamantina Shire Council has an approximate area of 95,000 km².
