Welcome

TO M c KINLAY SHIRE

Welcome to the McKinlay Shire, heart of the Queensland Outback and Gateway to the Gulf of Carpentaria.

McKinlay Shire comprises four towns in Julia Creek, Nelia, McKinlay and Kynuna. Julia Creek and Nelia are located on the Flinders Highway (Overlander’s Way). McKinlay and Kynuna are positioned on the Landsborough Highway (Matilda Way). These towns are all connected by a fully sealed network of roads. Julia Creek earned the tagline ‘Gateway to the Gulf’ with the sealing of the road north to Normanton in the 1960s.

If you’re travelling up Queensland’s interior, Kynuna > Julia Creek > Burke & Wills Junction is the fastest, fully sealed route to the Gulf – we call it ‘The Barra Express’. McKinlay Shire has a population of around 1,100 people and covers an area of 40,728 square kilometres. We hope you join us at one of our many events or unearth our unbridled, natural beauty during your travels.

Getting Here

AIR

Regional Express Airlines (REX) is the only commercial air service available in McKinlay Shire. REX offers regular flight services every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from the Julia Creek Airport to Townsville and Mount Isa. For schedules and fares call 13 17 13 or visit rex.com.au

ROAD SAFETY

Although most of McKinlay Shire is easily accessible, when driving our roads please take care. It is essential to carefully plan your trip and remember that good preparation and common sense are the keys to a successful journey in Outback Queensland. Some tips to remember:

• Ensure you have a good map and plan ahead, including calculating travel times and distances between stops.

ROAD

Julia Creek and Nelia are situated on the Flinders Highway (Overlander’s Way) between Townsville and Mount Isa. This is a sealed, double lane highway accessible to all vehicles during the dry season.

Kynuna and McKinlay are situated on the Landsborough Highway (Matilda Way) between Longreach and Cloncurry. This is a sealed, double lane highway accessible to all vehicles during the dry season.

The Julia Creek to Kynuna Road (115kms) is now a fully sealed road. The Julia Creek to Burke & Wills Roadhouse (235kms) is a one lane, sealed road with passing opportunities. We call the Kynuna > Julia Creek > Burke & Wills route ‘The Barra Express’. The Julia Creek to McKinlay Road (80kms) is a one lane, recently fully sealed road.

BUS

Greyhound Australia stop in Julia Creek, McKinlay and Kynuna. Arrival and departure times vary and are subject to change. Check out greyhound.com.au for schedules and fares.

• Be aware of the next available facilities and services including fuel, water, medical and food supplies.

• Take frequent rest breaks and change drivers regularly.

• Always carry spares including tyres, water, extra food and a comprehensive first aid kit.

• If you encounter gates, they should always be left as they were found. Open gates should be left open and closed gates should be closed after passing through them.

• Avoid driving after dark. Slow down and keep a look out especially at dawn and dusk as cattle, kangaroos and other wildlife often congregate alongside the road.

• Obey road closure signs.

• Drive slowly on unsealed roads and take extra care – loose surfaces are unpredictable.

• Take care when overtaking road trains (some can be 50m long), heavy vehicles and caravans, and only do so when you can clearly see at least 1km of the road ahead. Be prepared for road trains to move a little from side to side as you overtake. Be aware that dust and stones can be flicked up, potentially damaging your vehicle and obstructing your vision.

RAIL

Queensland Rail offers one rail service (The Inlander) twice weekly in Julia Creek between Townsville and Mount Isa. Visit queenslandrailtravel.com.au for more information.

• If a road train is approaching to overtake you, move over as far as possible to the left and stop if necessary to allow it to overtake.

• Check the Queensland Traffic website before commencing a journey: qldtraffic.com.au

Julia Creek Dunnart

(SMINTHOPSIS DOUGLASI)

With a body length of 100–120mm and a tail length of 90–100mm, the Julia Creek dunnart can be distinguished from rats and mice by its size. Unlike rodents, dunnarts have pointy noses, large rounded ears and dog-like teeth.

RECOGNISED AS A SPECIES

The dunnart was first documented in 1931 but not recognised as a species until 1979 after examination of four museum specimens revealed them to be a distinct species. A live animal was not seen until 1992 when, with the aid of information provided by locals, seven animals were trapped and another was brought in from a property after being saved from a domestic cat. The species is currently listed as near endangered under the IUCN Red List of Threatened Fauna (2008) because of its restricted distribution and the lack of knowledge of its ecology and threatening processes. The downs country of North West Queensland is typically flat or gently undulating grassland dominated by Mitchell grass (Astrebla spp.) tussocks, with grasses such as Flinders grass (Iseilema sp.) and forbs growing between the tussocks after rain. An aspect of the Julia Creek dunnart’s habitat that may be essential to its survival in this harsh environment is black soil,

where cracks up to 70cms deep develop as the dry season progresses. Julia Creek dunnarts shelter in these cracks to escape the extreme daytime temperatures then emerge at night to hunt insects and small reptiles. Breeding occurs between October and February, during which time females may produce two litters of young if environmental conditions are favourable. Like other marsupials, they have a pouch and give birth to young at a very early stage of pregnancy, at which time the young are permanently attached to the nipple. The pouch contains eight nipples in a circular arrangement allowing each female to carry eight young at a time. Reproduction is timed to coincide with the wet season so that the young are weaned when there is an abundance of insects to feed on and ample vegetation to provide shelter from predators.

LIVE DUNNART DISPLAY

The Julia Creek Visitor Information Centre currently displays fat-tailed dunnarts (Sminthopsis crassicaudata). Fat-tailed dunnarts, as their name suggests, are distinguished by their carrot-shaped tail where they store excess fat for times of food shortage. The feisty fat-tailed dunnarts are rotated between two off-display enclosures and one display enclosure.

This tiny bright-eyed creature is an insect-eating marsupial, only found in the Mitchell grass downs of North West Queensland.

GAB fishing & bird watching

Sydney Harbour 130,000 times. The water supply in McKinlay Shire comes from the Great Artesian Basin. Come and view the 'Gift of the GAB' movie in the auditorium ‘At the Creek’.

FISHING

GREAT ARTESIAN BASIN

The Great Artesian Basin (GAB) is one of the largest artesian groundwater basins in the world. It extends 2,400kms from Cape York in the north to Dubbo in the south. At its widest it is 1,800kms from the Darling Downs to west of Coober Pedy. With an area of over 1.7 million square kilometres the Basin underlies approximately one-fifth of the Australian continent. The GAB stores a huge volume of water that is estimated to be 64,900 million megalitres. It is enough water to fill

North West Queensland has a great variety of fishing sites including rivers, lakes and creeks. The most common fish caught in this region are barramundi, sleepy cod, catfish and redclaw yabbies. McKinlay Shire has several waterholes to try your luck at including Punchbowl Waterhole (45kms from Julia Creek), Sedan Dip (100kms from Julia Creek), Julia Creek (in town), Combo Waterhole (near Kynuna) and Eastern Creek (22kms from Julia Creek). Throw in a line and spend some time exploring this unique region.

BIRD WATCHING

McKinlay Shire has a variety of birdlife throughout the year in various places. The best times to visit are directly after the wet season (from January to June), but an abundance of birds can be found well into the dry season, particularly drier climate species. A guide to bird watching in McKinlay Shire and a bird list are available from ‘At the Creek’.

McKinlay Shire Map

M c KINLAY (POPULATION 20)

The McKinlay district was first discovered by Scottish born explorer, John McKinlay in 1861 during his travel from Adelaide to the Gulf of Carpentaria. McKinlay was established in 1888 as a staging post for the Cobb and Co. coaches and a gathering point for the graziers from surrounding properties. The bore on the edge of town was sunk in the 1900s to give a permanent water supply. McKinlay was the service centre for many of the surrounding stations. The McKinlay Shire Council offices were originally located in McKinlay until 1930, when they were moved to Julia Creek, which was serviced by the Great Northern Railway. Travel from Julia Creek to McKinlay is 100kms and via a predominantly unsealed road.
