Stonehenge, Queensland

Stonehenge is a small outback township in western Queensland, Australia. Its name originates from when the area was a stopping point for bullock teams. A stone hut used by the bullock drivers to overnight in eventually fell into disuse, and the stone remains became known as 'Stonehenge'^[2].

At the 2006 census, Stonehenge and the surrounding area had a population of 106.^[1]

Nearby is one of three areas used to base the Australian Department of Defence's over-the-horizon radar system.
