Springsure
Built around the springs of Springsure Creek, Springsure grew into a service town for the grazing country of Queensland’s Central Highlands. Mount Zamia, a rugged sandstone formation near town, anchors Minerva Hills National Park, where cliffs and woodland meet open pastoral plains. Springsure Creek belongs to the Nogoa River system, within the wider Fitzroy Basin that drains towards the Coral Sea. The Old Rainworth Fort, a slab-built homestead dating from 1862, recalls the region’s early pastoral settlement. Springsure remains a practical rural centre, with broad streets, local services and close ties to cattle country and nearby national parks.

Tucked beneath the rugged slopes of Mount Zamia in Queensland’s Central Highlands, Springsure is a town whose character is shaped by dry inland conditions and surrounding grazing country. The dramatic profile of Virgin Rock, a local cliff formation, has long served as a recognisable landmark on the plain. Springsure developed as a pastoral service centre, and its main street still provides supplies and hospitality for communities spread across this sparsely settled part of central Queensland. Beyond town, the broader highlands lead towards the sandstone gorges and walking country of Carnarvon National Park.

Queensland extends from Torres Strait in the north to the New South Wales border in the south, encompassing a tropical coastline and a vast, dry interior. Along the Coral Sea, the Great Barrier Reef runs beside the state’s eastern shore, while inland plains, grazing country and long distances define much of central and western Queensland. This location lies in the interior, where settlements are widely spaced and open outback horizons contrast with the humid coast. Queensland is home to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, whose enduring connections to Country underpin its cultural identity.

The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement.
