Charleville
 |
Charleville is situated on the Landsborough Highway, known by travellers
as the Matilda Highway.
The shire has four artesian bores. Artesian water is essential
to the town's survival, as the average rainfall of the area is just
491mm a year.

The temperature in winter ranges from -3 to 20 degrees C, and in summer
from 20 to 40 degrees C. Properties vary in size from 25,000 acres to
40,000 acres. Charleville is the start to the Queensland opal fields.
A great place to stay and start your opal trip north. I always stay at
the Corones Hotel an old world, out back Aussi pub.
