Galilee Basin, Geological basin with coal deposits in Queensland, Australia.

The Galilee Basin is a geological formation in western Queensland that holds substantial coal deposits buried beneath multiple rock layers. The region spans vast areas and displays the complex geological structure typical of inland Australia.

Exploration of the coal deposits began in the early 2000s when mining companies developed large-scale projects across the region. These activities generated numerous proposals and environmental assessments that shaped how the area has developed.

Indigenous peoples have maintained their presence and connection to this land for countless generations across the region. Visitors can encounter this living heritage in local communities and through their ongoing relationship with the country.

Summer temperatures often exceed 35°C (95°F), while winter nights range from 5 to 12°C (41-54°F) and affect how visitors plan their time. Anyone exploring the region should prepare for extreme conditions and carry plenty of water.

The basin connects to the Great Artesian Basin below the surface, providing access to underground water vital for the entire subregion. This hidden water link plays a quiet but important role in sustaining the land.
