Download coordinates as: Windorah is a town and a locality in the Shire of Barcoo, Queensland, Australia.

During a wet year Cooper Creek may flood more than a half a dozen times, during the dry it becomes a chain of waterholes.

[4] Before the onset of British colonisation, the area around Windorah was inhabited by the Kulumali people, who spoke the Birria (Pirriya) language.

[5] The men of this group were circumcised, cut cicatrices on their chest and had one or two of their upper central incisors removed as part of their initiation rites.

He encountered hundreds of Kulumali people living in the region and had several tense interactions with them over the ability to pass through their land and have access to their waterholes.

[7] George Fitzwalter established a shop and a hotel in 1878 on a stock route which became the town of Stoney Point.

[16][17] The town was completely isolated by floodwater in 1949 after surrounding areas were inundated by heavy rainfall.

Low cloud and more rain prevented relief food supplies from being delivered by air from a RAAF Dakota.

[citation needed] Sheep and cattle grazing are the mainstay of the district; however, recently oil and gas industries have developed in the area.

[citation needed] Many locals also work on the Shire Council and the Dingo Barrier Fence.

The event raises money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service, community facilities and other charities.

[30][31][32] The Windorah Library is operated by the Barcoo Shire Council and located in Maryborough Street.
