Longreach, Regional council headquarters in Central West Queensland, Australia
The Longreach Region spans over 40,000 square kilometers of Queensland outback territory, containing three main localities: Longreach, Ilfracombe, and Isisford.
The establishment of Bowen Downs cattle station in 1862 marked the European settlement of the area, leading to the foundation of Longreach town in 1887.
The region maintains strong connections to its pastoral heritage through the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame and regular community gatherings celebrating rural traditions.
The Longreach Regional Council website provides residents with information about rates, road conditions, disaster updates, and access to public libraries in three locations.
The Thomson River forms a natural boundary along the region, supplying water resources to support cattle farming and agricultural activities in the semi-arid climate.
