Flinders Shire

Built around pastoral grazing and the inland railway, Flinders Shire grew into a far-reaching rural district of north-west Queensland. The Flinders River crosses this dry interior, where open grazing country is punctuated by low ranges, seasonal creeks and small service towns. Hughenden, the shire’s main centre, stands on the Flinders Highway and retains close ties to cattle country. Its Flinders Discovery Centre explores local fossil finds alongside the story of settlement and agriculture. Porcupine Gorge National Park, carved by Porcupine Creek, introduces escarpments and a deep gorge to the district.
