JC Hotel Ruins

Maryborough Street, Windorah QLD 4481
The "JC" is a historical site located 80 kilometres west of Windorah. A great place to stop for a cuppa and explore the ruins of the hotel, learn it's history from the Information board and visit the small cemetery located near the ruins. Information regarding the JC Hotel ruins is available at the Windorah Visitor Information Centre. (following is an extract from some of that history) "In 1865 John Costello took a property on Kyabra creek near Eromanga and shortly afterwards he commenced exploration westward, across Coopers Creek to the Diamantina and Georgina rivers. On one of these trips he was empowered by John Collin and son of Melbourne to secure land for the Collins family. It was during one of these early exploring trips that John stopped here and carved his initials, (or was it J.C. for John Collin) on the famous “JC” tree while he waited for his billy to boil. At a later date the hotel was built nearby." The roof was pulled off in 1956 resulting in the pise melting in the weather over the years leaving just the mounds of dirt and a few stumps in its place. ...

Windorah Nature Drive

Maryborough Street, Windorah QLD 4481
This Nature Drive has been developed to help people understand and appreciate their region. Their aim is to maintain the area surrounding the Drive in as near natural state as possible. You can either start the drive just out of Windorah and end up at Cooper’s Creek or vice versa. If it is wet, the black soil section of the Drive nearest the Creek can be skipped by following the alternate road after the grid. The Cooper’s Creek floodplain has a number of distinctly different plant communities, including coolibah woodland, alluvial herb land, lignum shrub land, gidgee open woodland and spinifex grassland. The flat areas of the flood plain adjacent to Cooper’s Creek are usually bare or sparsely vegetated prior to floods. During the floods, the areas are temporarily covered with water. As the water recedes, a dense growth of plants appears. The main channels are lined with the majestic River Red Gum, Coolibah, River Tea Tree and wattles. Many wildlife species rely on this habitat for homes, food and shelter....

Windorah Solar Farm

Maryborough Street, Windorah QLD 4481
The Ergon Energy Solar Farm located at Windorah in outback Queensland was commissioned in 2009, and provides the Windorah township and some outlying properties with electricity. The generation of up to 360,000 kilowatt hours of electricity each year greatly reduces the amount of diesel previously used for supply needs. Although there are no tours of the solar farm, it is located across the road from their airport, and a perfect photo opportunity and information board is provided, with plenty of space to pull over. Photographers have taken some great shots of their Solar Farm, with their amazing sunsets, and even the reflection of the Milky Way in the panels! ...
