Cooladdi

Situated on the Quilpie Road to the opal fields, Cooladdi was once a thriving railway town, but when the rail connection closed the residents slowly drifted away. Today only a handful of residents can be found keeping the town alive, however, during the September school holidays, hundreds flock to the town for the annual Gymkhana.

Pick up a copy of the Heritage Trail Guidebook and discover the history of the town that refuses to disappear.

Cooladdi also boasts a great fishing sport close by at Quilberry Creek, so why not take the time to visit, kick back for a day or two and fish? Quilberry Creek has waterholes suitable for fishing, swimming, yabbying and camping.
