Tambo, Queensland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tambo is a town located in central western Queensland, Australia, on the banks of the Barcoo River. Tambo is approximately 100 kilometres southeast of the town of Blackall via the Landsborough Highway, and approximately 930 kilometres north west of the state capital, Brisbane. The town's population is approximately 350.
The town was settled in 1863, making it the oldest town in western Queensland. Like much of the west, sheep became the mainstay of the economy. Today, cattle and tourism are of major importance to the town. A number of heritage buildings survive from the earliest days of settlement. The Carnarvon National Park (Salvator Rosa section) lies to the east of the town.
