This mosaic image was produced by combining two satellite images acquired on 27 February 2000 by the Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite. The Georgina River is on the left and the Diamantina River on the right. The small town of Bedourie has been inundated by flood waters. Birdsville is south of the area on the image.

There are 14 cattle stations in the Birdsville shire, each averaging 6,860 square kilometres in area. The Birdsville shire covers 95,000 square kilometres and is the second largest shire in Queensland.
