  • The Barcoo River in western Queensland, Australia that rises on the northern slopes of the Warrego Range, flows in a south westerly direction and unites with the Thomson River to form Cooper Creek. The first European to see the river was Thomas Mitchell in 1846, who named it Victoria Stream. It was renamed by Edmund Kennedy after a name supplied by local Aborigines. The waters of the river flow towards Lake Eyre in central Australia while those of rivers further east join the Murray-Darling basin and reach the sea in South Australia. The river forms a boundary between outback Australia and the "Far Outback"; west of the Barcoo legend has it there is very little in the way of civilization. Tributaries include the Alice River, Torrens, Landsborough and Towerhill Creeks. Towns situated on the banks of the Barcoo River include Blackall, Isisford, Tambo and Retreat. The southern boundary of Welford National Park is marked by the Barcoo River and Isisford Weir has been constructed on the Barcoo.

  • Barcoo er ei elv i det vestlige Queensland i Australia. Den har utspring på vesthellingen av Warregofjellene, i den nordlige delen av Great Dividing Range, i området ved Barcaldine, rundt 500 kilometer inn i landet fra byen Rockhampton. Ved samløpet med elva Thomson nord for byen Windorah danner den Cooper Creek. Den første europeeren som så elva var Thomas Mitchell i 1846, som kalte den Victoria Stream. Den fikk sitt nåværende navn av Edmund Kennedy, etter et navn gitt av lokale aboriginere. Etter samløpet med Thomson renner elva mot Eyresjøen i det sentrale Australia.

  • And he knew where the hungry owners were that hurried his sheep ahead;
  • He was drifting down in the Eighty drought with a mob that could scarcely creep
  • On a road never cross'd 'cept by folk that are lost,
  • One Michael Magee had a shanty.
  • He had fought his way on the Great Stock Routes from the sea to the big Barcoo;
  • On the outer Barcoo where the churches are few,
  • And men of religion are scanty,
  • Now Saltbush Bill was a drover tough as ever the country knew,
  • He could tell when he came to a friendly run that gave him a chance to spread,
  • And he camped one night at the crossing-place on the edge of the Wilga run;
  • "We must manage a feed for them here," he said, "or half of the mob are done!"
