Kowanyama QLD @ ExplorOz

Kowanyama has a small supermarket that sells fresh foods, packaged and frozen foods, and hardware items. There is also a coffee shop and a guesthouse for accommodation. The Kowanyama Canteen operates Monday to Friday; from 3:30 pm to 8:30 pm and alcohol is only served in the form of light beer.
Road trains from Cairns service the town of Kowanyama weekly in the dry season. During the wet monsoon season which may range from November to April, the area can be subject to flooding. This may isolate the community by road and the only way to bring in supplies is by aircraft.
