Julia Creek, known as ‘The Gateway to the Gulf’, is a very friendly town located on the Overlander's Way (Flinders Highway), 650 kilometres west of Townsville and 250 kilometres east of Mount Isa. The town is at the centre of the Great Artesian Basin (GAB), which is one of the largest artesian groundwater basins in the world. The district's main industries are cattle, sheep and silver and lead mining. The Julia Creek Information Centre, at the corner of Burke and Quarrell Streets, has a large range of travel brochures covering North West Queensland’s outback. Whilst there, have a look at the mounted Julia Creek Dunnart Display. Only found in the Mitchell Grass downs of North West Queensland, the Julia Creek Dunnart (Sminthopsis douglasi) is a small, nocturnal, insect-eating marsupial thought to be extinct until 1992, and now considered an endangered species. In the late afternoon, take a stroll along the nature trail to enjoy the wonderful birdlife, or watch the sunset while relaxing in the caravan park’s naturally heated artesian spa. A 30m wineglass shaped water tower can be seen up to 20 kms away from Julia Creek, with the blue coloured feature lighting installed creating a visual effect.Those visiting Julia Creek can find short-term parking for up to 96 hours at Julia Creek RV Friendly camping area.
