Geocache Description:

One pub village on the border between New South Wales and Queensland.

You are now on the Queensland side of the border. You can see the dog fence just over there, and there used to be a town here. Barringun, located on the NSW-Queensland border 128 km north of Bourke, was once a thriving town which was serviced by four hotels, and a wide variety of other shops. It was at the centre of movements of people through the Darling Downs and across into western NSW and Queensland. The town was a stopover point for shearers, drovers, mailmen, swaggies, labourers, adventurers and Cobb & Co coaches. My TomTom GPS actually picked up all the street names that are long gone.
