EspañolRICHMOND, QUEENSLAND
'Richmond' is a town of approximately 800 residents in western Queensland, Australia. The town is located on the Flinders Highway, 500 km west of Townsville and 405 km east of Mount Isa. It is the administrative centre of Richmond Shire Council.
The Flinders River forms the northern boundary of the town. Traditionally, the two biggest industries in Richmond are sheep- and cattle-farming, however tourism is an increasingly important aspect of the local economy. In addition to being a major transit stop on the Flinders Highway, recent paleontological discoveries have unearthed the fossils of prehistoric marine creatures, some of which are on display in Richmond.
