Woocoo Shire... country living at it's bestThe name 'Woocoo' was originally given to Mt. Woocoo in the area now known as Woocoo Shire. The local parish took on the name and eventually, when the Woocoo Shire was officially defined and born in 1915, the Parish became the central hub of the area. ‘Woocoo’ is taken from the original word ‘Woocoon’, the Aboriginal name for the echidna. The Woocoo Shire has plentiful attractions to entice people to visit and settle in the area. The climate, being one of the best in Queensland, has an average 1,100 milometres per annum rainfall, mild winters and summers, and provides for a very comfortable lifestyle. The beautiful Mary River runs through the Shire providing for the needs of cane, dairy and small crop farmers while still allowing for plenty of idyllic sports and for gazing onto her calm waters.
