Cordillo Downs, located in the remote north-eastern corner of South Australia (postcode 5731), is a historic and sparsely populated outback area known for its vast pastoral landscapes and the iconic Cordillo Downs Woolshed, a heritage-listed structure once considered the largest shearing shed in Australia. This semi-arid region, part of the Channel Country, is characterized by its expansive cattle stations, red dirt plains, and proximity to the Queensland border. The area is isolated, with limited services and infrastructure, attracting visitors seeking rugged adventure, outback history, and a glimpse into Australia's pastoral heritage. Its harsh yet beautiful environment makes it a quintessential example of the Australian outback.
