North West Queensland also has a great variety of fishing throughout our vast river systems, lakes and creeks. Some common species include barramundi, sleepy cod, catfish and redclaw yabbies. Throw in a line and spend some time exploring the region. Be sure to keep an eye out for other native wildlife in the area, particularly kangaroos, brolgas, emus, and of course cattle and sheep which are one of the main industries in our area.
