About Etheridge Shire Community Directory

The Etheridge Community Directory covers the Etheridge Shire in Queensland’s Gulf Savannah region, where the historic gold‑mining town of Georgetown now serves as the administrative centre. Cattle grazing, mining and tourism underpin the local economy, and the shire features natural attractions like Cobbold Gorge and the Undara Lava Tubes. The directory lists health services, schools, community associations, recreational clubs, cultural groups, council facilities and emergency contacts to help residents and visitors connect with services across the shire’s widespread communities.

Find Local & Visiting Services in Etheridge Shire

Health, emergency and welfare services in the Etheridge area include small health clinics, visiting doctors and specialists, crisis and counselling hotlines, accommodation support and welfare assistance programmes. The directory also lists community clubs and interest groups, arts and creative projects, sports and recreation clubs, youth programmes, cultural and migrant services, environmental groups and religious or philosophical organisations, alongside education, training and employment services. Because this shire is remote, many specialist services such as allied health care, legal assistance and disability or youth support are delivered by visiting providers or regional outreach, while local community organisations and volunteers offer daily support and cultural activities.

Etheridge Region Highlights

Located in far north Queensland’s Gulf Country, Etheridge Shire is dotted with gold‑rush relics and cattle stations around the administrative town of Georgetown. Miners once flocked to the Etheridge Goldfields; today tourists come for outback scenery and river gorges. Locals love boarding small boats for a cruise through the narrow sandstone walls of Cobbold Gorge, and cool off in the natural swimming holes at Copperfield Gorge near Einasleigh where clear water flows over smooth rock.

Etheridge Shire Council has an approximate area of 39,000 km².

It is within the state electorate of Traeger.
