About Georgina
Georgina is a remote outback locality in Queensland's Shire of Boulia, situated in the vast Channel Country of western Queensland near the Northern Territory border. With coordinates placing it around the Georgina River basin, this sparsely populated area covers approximately 4,567 square kilometres of arid plains. The 2021 census recorded just 21 residents, reflecting its nature as a working pastoral station locality rather than a conventional residential suburb.
Life in Georgina revolves around large-scale cattle grazing, with properties in the region running livestock across the seasonally flooded plains of the Channel Country. The nearest major service centre is Mount Isa, approximately 300 kilometres to the north, while Boulia township provides the closest local amenities including fuel, a hospital and a hotel. The area is known for its extreme isolation, dramatic desert landscapes and the annual Boulia Camel Races, which attract visitors from across Australia.
Georgina falls under postcode 6532 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the North West Central (Mining and Pastoral) electorate.
