Download coordinates as: Warkon is a rural locality in the Maranoa Region, Queensland, Australia.

[3] The locality name derives from a pastoral run name used from 1850 and is an Aboriginal word group (possibly from the Mandandanji language) meaning plenty of water.

[2] Warkon Station was established on the Balonne River in 1850 by Henry Bingham, one of the early settlers in the Maranoa district.

Harriet Barlow was one of the first people to record the Aboriginal languages of this region, which she called Coongarri, Wirri-Wirri, Ngoorie, Yowaleri, Cooinburri, Begumble, Cambooble and Parrungoom.

The Warkon Station was subsequently owned by Leonard Reynolds Schwennesen who added further notes to Barlow's material.
