Thallon
2025 Top Tiny Tourism Town Finalist
550km southwest of Brisbane lies Thallon – a tiny town with a huge heart! Home to just 50 locals, Thallon embodies the true spirit of Outback Queensland. When the trains stopped and the post office nearly closed, the community refused to let their town wither. Instead, they rolled up their sleeves and dreamed big – creating a towering six-foot hairy-nosed wombat statue and a spectacular silo mural that turned heads and drew tourists in droves. Now a must-visit-stop, Thallon is a shining example of Outback resilience, country hospitality, and big ideas in small places. It’s not just a stopover – it’s an experience.
