Fitzroy Crossing

Fitzroy Crossing is situated in the heart of the best pastoral country in Australia.Other industries include Mining and tourism. The town is surrounded bythe vast flood plains of the Fitzroy River. From May to October days are warm and dry and nights are cool whilst from December to March tropical storms transform the surrounding countryside into a sea of green.

Still standing in the old town is the original causeway crossing, the former post office an avenue of Boab trees and a footbridge across the Brooking Creek linking the old town with the Inn and the original cemetery. Tthe magnificent Geikie Gorge National Park is just 18 kms from town. The gorge was carved by the Fitzroy River through an ancient limestone reef. The calm waters are full of fish and birds are attracted to its tree lined banks. In the dry season cruises are operated by the Department of Environment & Conversation.
