Camooweal, QLD

Driving from Mount Isa across the deserted lands of western Queensland the traveller reaches the tiny town of Camooweal to be greeted by a sign which proudly declares: 'Gateway to the Northern Territory' and adds 'Population 310'. The population has increased, at least by the signage, by 10 people in the last 30 years although the 2011 census pointed out that the town had a population of 187. It also happens to be the most westerly town in Queensland as the Northern Territory border is only 14 km to the west. It is essence of basic rural town: a general store (the famous Freckleton's General Storekeepers) and a supermarket; two petrol stations and a pub all located on the Georgina River. A service town for the surrounding properties ... and now for tourists. The road from Mount Isa was built during World War II with American funds as a link between the southern states and the theoretical 'front line' in the Northern Territory. It was built in such haste - ie just bitumen over the flat countryside - that it became known as Tojo's Revenge - a reference to the Japanese military leader who had forced its building.
