Around Cloncurry

'Our town is a built and cultural mix in a natural wonderland. There are museums, pubs, great food, fossicking and the biggest cattle stations and copper mines in Australia.'

Cloncurry is a beautiful town situated on the banks of the Cloncurry River, the river and Chinaman Creek Dam. The main income here comes from mining and pastoral industries. Cloncurry has seen Australia grow over the years and has made tremendous contribution in endowing Australia with a world class status.
