Information

Hughenden is the business and commercial centre of the Flinders Shire. Other townships within the Shire are Prairie, Torrens Creek and Stamford. Hughenden is situated on the banks of Queensland longest river, the Flinders and is located on the Overlander's Way (Flinders Highway). Hughenden has direct road access to a number of major centres and tourist attractions within the region. A major highway links Hughenden to Townsville (376km) and Mount Isa (519km) with a southern sealed road access via the Dinosaur Way to Winton and Longreach. For those wanting to travel north there is a good gravel and sealed road to the Atherton Tablelands and Cairns. A visit to the Flinders Discovery Centre is a must-do if its your first time in the region to learn about the unique and incredible ecological conditions that formed this land and the animals that roamed here millions of years ago. Dinosaur bones were first found in the region in 1962 near Muttaburra and in 1987 near Hughenden.
