Welford National Park to Jundah

Winton, Queensland

Departing Welford National Park, drive a short distance northwest to Jundah on the banks of the Thomson River - an ideal spot for some scenic fishing and river drives. Jundah is the closest town to Welford National Park and is an ideal base if you would prefer day visits. Explore the Barcoo Shire Museum offering a window into the early pioneering times of the district. Take the Settler's Nature Drive along the Thomson River featuring sign-posted descriptions of native plants. Unique "Welcome Signs" to the town replicate the historic shop front still to be seen in the main street of Jundah. Each of the signs is linked together by a walking trail, and contains different information giving an insight into the early years of the township. Located 90km east of Jundah is the site of Magee's Shanty, believed to be the site of the shanty immortalised in Banjo Paterson's poem "A Bush Christening." Meet local characters and enjoy outback hospitality at the Jundah Hotel, open for lunch and dinner and offering air-conditioned accommodation. Caravan Park and free bush campsites are available in Jundah. Stay connected with free wi-fi at the Jundah Information Centre and Library.
