The Big Town of Jundah



Jundah is located approximately: 1400km west of Brisbane, two and half hours south-west of Longreach, three and a half hours north-west of Quilpie, and 30 kilometres above the junction of the Barcoo and Thomson Rivers where they form Cooper Creek. The Thomson River, which is one kilometre out of town, provides a scenic fishing and recreational area. The river carries a variety of fish including yellowbelly, catfish and bream.



Jundah is the administration centre of the Barcoo Shire. With a population of approximately 100 people it is the largest of the three towns within the Shire. Mains electricity does not extend to Jundah so the township receives its electricity from a series of generators. Jundah consists of warm and friendly community members who are always keen to invite you in for a cuppa or lend-a-hand.
