The Windorah Post Office presents as an ideal lifestyle change and business opportunity for an enterprising young family or semi-retired couple. The Post office and Australia Post Shop with the attached neat and tidy three bedroom house offers a business with excellent returns whilst enjoying a tranquil and safe lifestyle.
Windorah is located in the Heart of the Channel Country. A favoured stopover and rest point for travelers heading to Birdsville, Bedourie, Longreach and further west, Windorah has that genuine welcoming feeling typical of the Queensland Outback. Wide, tidy streets shaded by large leafy trees, and yards with lush gardens and fruit orchards give Windorah an almost tropical appearance.
Typical of Outback Queensland, Windorah is steeped in the pioneering history of the early settlers of the area. Located on Cooper’s Creek, Windorah is a must stop destination with giant red sand-hills, historical sites, beautiful sunsets, nature at its best and wonderful fishing spots. The town and district enjoy a laid back lifestyle devoid of the pollution and hustle and bustle of city living.
The town has a population of 100 as well as many families and workers living on rural properties in the surrounding district. The main industry supporting the town is cattle grazing, although there has been recent oil and gas development in the area. Windorah is host to Queensland’s first Solar Farm which opened in 2009. The aim of this farm is to reduce the town’s reliance on diesel fuel and cut green house emissions by approximately 300 tonnes a year.
