Meaning ‘dust storm’, Bedourie is a historic town in Channel Country, with a rich past and a bright future. Bedourie is the administrative centre of the huge 95,000 square kilometre Diamantina Shire, and perfect for a one-of-a-kind outback Queensland adventure to the far west. Perched on a sand dune and surrounded by Eyre Creek, it is a beautiful town and worth a stay.
Up the ante by swimming laps in the 25-meter swimming pool or simply take a dip to cool off.
Ease your tired traveling muscles in the 22-person therapeutic spa with crystal-clear water immersing you in Bedourie’s Artesian Bore. Drilled back in 1905, visitors have been relieving their aches and pains in the warm 38 to 40-degree water for years.
Bedourie is the birthplace of the world famous Bedourie Camp Oven!
Borne out of necessity under a tree during the 1920s by a tin smith, the Bedourie Camp Oven was constructed for the drovers and cameleers who were having problems with their outback cookware.
The Pise House (Mud Hut)
was built of rammed earth and mud collected from Eyre Creek in 1896 by Mary Brodie who came to the district in the mid-1880s. The only other buildings from that time still standing are the Royal Hotel and the Indigenous Trackers Hut, which now stands behind.
Pise House (Mud Hut) was purchased by Diamantina Shire Council in 2001 from Jean Smith and has since been fully restored with most of the original timber replaced.
