A rural and regional Shire, McKinlay is home to a productive and innovative pastoral industry, as well as the world’s richest single mine producer of silver, lead and zinc, at Cannington.  The world’s largest natural aquifer, the Great Artesian Basin, underpins and supports our community and the diversity of the rich grazing lands and unique animal life that the Shire has to offer.

The Shire is proud of its brand new tourist attraction – ‘At the Creek’, where visitors are taken on an educational, ecological and cultural journey of the unique McKinlay Shire region.  The centre is filled with interactive audio and visual tools to give visitors an insight into life within the Shire.
The event capital of the North West per capita, nationally recognised events such as the Julia Creek Dirt & Dust Festival continue to grow and receive accolades for tourism, attracting visitors and competitors from home and abroad.

McKinlay Shire has a proud history, industry and a close family community.  Looking into the future, the Shire will shortly enter a steady growth plane as more people discover this little gem in amongst the other great communities of the North West.
