Heart of the Channel Country.
This shire council is made up of three small towns, Jundah, the administrative centre, Windorah and Stonehenge. This is where you can start to get a taste of the vastness of the Australian outback, close knit communities, less services and greater distances. It’s where you can sit on the banks of the pristine Barcoo River, climb a red sand dune at sunset and people have time for each other.
