Welcome to "The Outer Barcoo", this is the Isisford Shire. An outback Queensland Shire taking in the towns of Isisford, Emmet and Yaraka.
Here, history is beneath your feet. Step into cultures as old as Australia itself, trace the steps of Major Mitchell, discover the true Outer Barcoo of Banjo Patterson's "Bush Christening".
Here, survival, innovation and change have wrought little impact into this diverse landscape, yet it continues to provide a rich and unique experience for travellers wishing to see it for themselves.
Bring with you your enthusiasm for things unspoilt, and take back with you the memories of our history, culture and great hospitality.
This is life in the Outer Barcoo, undiluted, raw, magnificent. We invite you to take part in it.
