EspañolNOCCUNDRA, QUEENSLAND
'Noccundra' is a township in south western Queensland, Australia[1]. It is on the banks of the Wilson River 145 kilometres from, and 80 kilometres west of, Thargomindah[2][3] and contained within the pastoral holding of Nockatunga Station[4]. The town was established in 1882 with the construction of the Noccundra Hotel (aka the Noccundra Pub)[5]3.
The hotel is Nocundra's only occupied building, housing a permanent population of four5. The stone hotel building is heritage listed2. An airstrip is behind the hotel3.
Andrew Hume's ill fated expedition, to rescue survivors of Leichhardt's expedition, perished of thirst to the west of Noccundra5. Today a memorial to Hume is on the western side of the hotel3.
