Barringun, QLD 4490, is a small, remote locality situated on the border of Queensland and New South Wales, approximately 900 kilometres west of Brisbane. Known primarily as a stopover for travellers along the Mitchell Highway, it features a historic pub, the **Barringun Hotel**, which serves as a social hub and a nod to its past as a bustling coaching stop during the 19th century. The area is characterised by its arid outback landscape, sparse population, and reliance on road transport and tourism for economic activity. Barringun offers a glimpse into rural Australian life and serves as a gateway to the expansive outback regions of both states.
