Information

Gummomo Waterhole is on the Diamintina Developmental Road north west of Quilpie adjacent to Thylungra Station. It was this permanent water supply that decided the Duracks to establish their station there. It is the site of a rest atop with a picnic shelter and is popular with self contained RVs as an over night stop. A prominent information board tells the story.
