Doomadgee Area
Doomadgee, on the Nicholson River near the Queensland‑Northern Territory border, is a predominantly Aboriginal community where culture and language remain strong. Fishing and cattle provide livelihoods in this isolated region, and the gulf wetlands teem with birdlife. Locals take pride in the community art centre where paintings and carvings depict traditional stories, and many spend quiet weekends camped along the riverbank catching barramundi and swapping stories under the paperbark trees.
Doomadgee Aboriginal Shire Council has an approximate area of 1,800 km².
