Heart of the Channel Country

For a slice of life in Jundah in years gone by, visit the Barcoo Shire Museum.

Now relocated to the corner of Miles and Macrossan Streets, the shire museum was instigated by a group of Barcoo Shire women who saw the need to preserve the history of the shire and communities within. This eventuated in the official opening of the Barcoo Shire Museum on 13 October 1989.

The museum reflects glimpses from the past, displaying kerosene-case furniture, mortuary tools, early education and further relics from the pioneer days including the mysterious barcoo dog.

The museum committee also undertook the restoration of two wagons, and after many voluntary hours they are now displayed in the Barcoo Shire Memorial Park.

Historic Building

This century old building today, on the shop front, boasts a mural painted in 1990 by the school children of the Jundah State School. The building was originally established in 1899 as Cartwright's general store.

Historic Wagons

A bullock drawn wool wagon and general purpose wagon are displayed in the Barcoo Shire Memorial Park.
