Jundah is a tiny remote outback town located near the Thomson River in the heart of central Queensland. The town is the administrative centre for the Barcoo Shire, serving the major sheep and cattle industries of the region. Jundah, meaning “women” in Aboriginal, was established in 1883 after it was originally settled by the Durack and Costello pioneering families. Opal mining was a major interest over the turn of the century but water shortages closed the mines after only 20 years. The introduction of heavy machinery, however, has renewed the mining interest. Oil and gas reserve discoveries have also been major developments in the region. Set amongst spectacular displays of either dry red expanses or flooding plains of native wildflowers, Jundah offers an authentic and laid back outback lifestyle.
