ABOUT Quamby

Roughly 60km away from Cloncurry, Quamby used to be a bustling railway village catering to the needs of the cattle and mining sectors nestled between Cloncurry and Normanton.

After a period of abandonment, the historic Quamby Pub (established in 1860) has been revived and is now operational! Step inside, indulge in refreshments and delicious food, and relish in some traditional and friendly companionship.

The town springs to life every July as it plays host to the Annual Quamby Rodeo.
