Combo Waterhole Conservation Park 

More photos   

Did the jolly swagman camp by Combo Waterhole? We will probably never know for sure, but waterholes in this park reputedly inspired Banjo Paterson to write Australia’s most popular folk song, Waltzing Matilda, while visiting nearby Dagworth Station in 1895.

Combo Conservation Park contains a string of semi-permanent coolibah-lined lagoons in outback Queensland. Combo Waterhole is on one of Queensland’s longest rivers, the Diamantina. The park is a wildlife refuge, especially in dry times.

Have a bush picnic on the banks of this famous waterhole. Camping is not allowed.

Discover the park’s fascinating past as you wander along the channels of the Diamantina River. See the historic stone-pitched overshot weirs (causeways) built by skilled Chinese labourers from 1883.
