This article is about a former local government in Queensland. For a former local government in Victoria, see Shire of Tambo.
Shire of Tambo is a Local Government Area in central west Queensland, Australia. The major town and administrative centre of the shire is Tambo.
The Barcoo River travels through the shire on its way to Cooper Creek and eventually Lake Eyre. Like much of the west, sheep became the mainstay of the economy. Today, cattle and tourism are of major importance to the shire.
