Living in the Outback – A ‘gold-change’

In the age of 24/7 news cycles, long working hours and a society that seems to move at an unsustainable pace, it’s only natural for people to seek out a better way and bring some healthy balance to their lives.  It’s this desire to correct the imbalance that the terms ‘green change’ and ‘sea change’ have evolved to mean relocating to a country or seaside community, and re-set the balance between work, home, family, recreation and community. 

In 2018 if you’re wanting to lock in all those benefits you can’t go past a ‘gold change’ and move to the golden soil of the Paroo Shire.  Perfectly nestled in the south west corner of Queensland, Paroo Shire is known as a ‘destination location’ for tourism and outback travellers who want to experience the best outback Australia can offer.  Today, that experience is available all year if you embrace the ‘gold change’, move to Paroo Shire, and become a local.

Steeped in history the local towns of Cunnamulla, Eulo, Wyandra and Yowah have their own unique personalities and are centres of commerce, travel, tourism and a relaxed lifestyle only the outback can offer. 

Moving to Paroo Shire offers you years of exploring amazing locations, attractions and events such as the famous Cunnamulla Fella Festival, and the equally impressive Yowah Opal Festival, Artesian Mud Baths and the Wyandra Heritage Trail as just the start.  Back that up with dinosaurs, Indigenous cultural attractions, National Parks, and amazing fauna and flora and you’ll never regret embracing the gold!

Some of the other benefits you’ll enjoy as a local include:

• House prices – The cost of housing is the envy of the major cities with variety, quality and good pricing. 
• Services – Paroo Shire has all government and community services close by including police, fire, ambulance, SES, local council, hospitals, doctors, schools, child care and more.
