About Caroline Crossing
Caroline Crossing is a vast, sparsely populated rural locality in the Shire of Murweh in outback Queensland, situated approximately 752 kilometres west-northwest of Brisbane. Covering over 2,000 square kilometres of semi-arid pastoral country, it lies along the Landsborough Highway between Tambo and Augathella. With a population of just 44 residents recorded in the 2021 census, it is one of Queensland's most remote localities. The landscape is characterised by open grasslands and mulga scrub typical of the channel country interior.
Life in Caroline Crossing revolves around cattle and sheep grazing on large station properties, with residents largely self-sufficient and accustomed to the demands of remote outback living. The nearest service town is Augathella, approximately 64 kilometres to the west, which provides basic amenities including a general store, hotel, and community facilities. The locality appeals to those with a deep affinity for the Australian bush and a passion for wide-open spaces, solitude, and the rhythm of station life.
Caroline Crossing falls under postcode 4477 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Warrego electorate.
