Hughenden

Hughenden combines the isolation of Queensland’s outback with the practical rhythm of a regional service town, reflecting its position on the Flinders River in central western Queensland. The settlement sits on the Flinders Highway and remains an important stop across broad grazing country between Townsville and Mount Isa. Dinosaur heritage shapes its identity: the Flinders Discovery Centre interprets fossils from the district, while the town’s large Muttaburrasaurus sculpture signals the prehistoric story of inland Queensland. Nearby Porcupine Gorge National Park cuts through the surrounding plains, adding a sharply different landform to this dry interior.
