Etheridge Shire

The Etheridge River and open savannah define much of Etheridge Shire – cattle grazing, mining heritage and long-distance road travel shape its sparse settlements and economy. In Queensland’s Gulf Savannah, this vast inland shire experiences strongly seasonal conditions that have long influenced daily life. Georgetown, its administrative centre, is known for a notable mineral collection reflecting the district’s prospecting past. Near Einasleigh, Copperfield Gorge cuts through rock beside the Copperfield River, while the Savannahlander rail service connects the area with Cairns and Forsayth.
