What To Do

Welford National Park

Welford National Park’s northern boundary is 30km south-east of Jundah and has both a northern and southern entrance. Lying on the Barcoo River this 124,000 hectare park can be accessed by travelling from Jundah, Windorah, Blackall or Quilpie. Welford Park has much to offer including a number of scenic drives and walking trails. The Barcoo River runs along the southern boundary and provides large permanent waterholes as a refuge for birds especially during severe droughts. The park protects examples of three of Queensland's natural arid regions: mulga lands, channel country and Mitchell grass downs   and Remnants of Aboriginal heritage use including water wells and stone arrangements can be found throughout the park.

Barcoo Historical Museum

The Barcoo Historical Museum was opened on the 13th of October 1989 and was instigated by a group of Barcoo Shire women who saw the need to preserve the history of the shire and the communities within. The museum reflects a glimpse of the past and displays antique mortuary tools, an old RFDS medicine kit, kerosene-case furniture and further relics from pioneer days. The museum committee also undertook the restoration of two wagons and after many voluntary hours they are now displayed in the Barcoo Shire Memorial Park.

The Thompson River

Jundah is located on the banks of the Thompson River and is just 30 kilometres above the Barcoo Junction where the Thompson and Barcoo rivers meet to form the mighty Cooper’s Creek. The Thompson River located one kilometre out of town provides a scenic fishing and recreational centre, a wide variety of fish are to be found in the Thompson including Yellowbelly, Jew and Bream and Yabbies are often caught in local waterholes along the river. Fishing is one of the main recreational activities in Outback Queensland and you can often find out the best fishing spots from a local or a chat over a beer at the Jundah Hotel. Bait and ice are both available from the hotel.
