Isaac Regional

Built around the coalfields of central Queensland, Isaac Regional has developed into a vast rural district where resource towns, cattle country and long-haul roads occupy much of the Fitzroy River Basin. The Isaac River, which joins the Mackenzie River upstream of the Fitzroy, gives the area its name. Moranbah, Dysart and Clermont are key settlements, and open-cut coal mining remains central to the local economy. Clermont recalls an earlier frontier chapter: gold discovered there in 1861 set off a major Queensland rush. The district also reaches east to the Coral Sea coast around St Lawrence, adding wetlands and fishing country to its inland character.
