Birdsville, Birdsville Billabong

The Birdsville Billabong is a natural body of water located in the town of Birdsville, in Queensland's remote Diamantina region.

Situated near the point where the Diamantina River narrows to a single channel before fanning out across the edge of the Simpson Desert, the billabong offers a striking contrast of water against an arid outback landscape.

Known locally as Pelican Point, the site is a popular spot for viewing outback sunsets and supports activities such as walking, kayaking, and swimming.

It provides a quiet, scenic access point to the waterway system that, in exceptional wet years, can flow all the way to Lake Eyre.
