Welford National Park to Jundah

Departing Welford National Park, drive a short distance to Jundah on the banks of the Thomson River - an ideal spot for some scenic fishing and river drives. Jundah is the closest town to Welford National Park and is an ideal base if you would prefer day visits. Explore the Barcoo Shire Museum offering a window into the early pioneering times of the district, including the mysterious "Barcoo Dog". Take the Settler's Nature Drive along the Thomson River featuring sign-posted descriptions of native plants. Unique "Welcome Signs" to the town replicate the historic shop front still to be seen in the main street of Jundah. Each of the signs is linked together by a walking trail and contains different information giving an insight into the early years of the township. Located 90 kilometres east of Jundah is the site of Magee's Shanty, believed to be the site of the shanty immortalised in Banjo Paterson's poem "A Bush Christening."
