Roma

Roma occupies a low inland position on Bungil Creek in Queensland’s Maranoa region. This service town sits within cattle country west of the Great Dividing Range, where broad grazing properties and long road distances define daily life. Roma’s identity is also closely tied to Australia’s petroleum story: oil was discovered here in 1900 during drilling for water, an event commemorated at The Big Rig, a local museum and tourism complex. The Roma Saleyards underscore the continuing importance of livestock trading to the district.
