Yea! we're having a Flash Mob! in Blackall. Our FIRST ever.
Blackall is situated on the Barcoo River, which eventually flows into Lake Eyre, via the Thomson River and Cooper Creek. Blackall is the administrative centre of the Blackall-Tambo region. Major industries are sheep and beef cattle.
The town Blackall was named by Surveyor Abraham H. May after Sir Samuel Blackall, the second Governor of Queensland.
In Australian folklore, the best-known citizen of the town was the shearer Jack Howe. In 1892, he shore a total of 321 sheep at Alice Downs station in 7 hours and 40 minutes, a record for hand shearing that still stands, and was only broken by a shearer using a machine driven handpiece in 1950.
