Set in the heart of Queensland’s Outback, Murweh Shire spans a vast 40,774 km² of rugged landscapes, rich history, and vibrant community life. With just under 4,000 residents, it’s a place where people know their neighbours and where the towns of Charleville, Augathella, Morven, and Cooladdi each bring their own unique charm and character. Situated atop the Great Artesian Basin, the Shire is a vital part of Australia’s inland story.

We acknowledge the Bidjara people as the Traditional Custodians of the land within the Murweh Shire. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and recognise their continuing connection to land, water, culture, and community.

Despite its remote feel, Murweh is well-connected:

• Murweh Shire is served by the Landsborough Highway, the Mitchell Highway, the Warrego Highway.
• Charleville is serviced by Greyhound buses and QR's Westlander train
• Charleville Airport provides quick access to Brisbane (2.5 hours via Qantas and REX flights)

Whether you’re looking to invest, explore, or put down roots, Murweh Shire offers a warm welcome, a thriving rural economy, and a truly authentic Outback lifestyle.
