Flinders Shire Area

Named after the Flinders River, this shire in north‑west Queensland centres on Hughenden and is characterised by grazing plains, mesas and ancient fossils. The region sits atop Australia’s dinosaur trail and still yields Cretaceous fossils. Residents enjoy taking visitors to the Flinders Discovery Centre to see a life‑size Muttaburrasaurus skeleton and exploring Porcupine Gorge, an unexpected chasm with vibrant coloured cliffs and tranquil swimming holes.
