| Blackall is a small town and Local Government Area located in Western Queensland, Australia, approximately 1100 kilometres by road from the state capital, Brisbane. The town lies on the Barcoo River, and has a population of 1833. It is the service centre for the Blackall Shire, which covers an area of almost 16,400 square kilometres.

In Australian folklore, the best known citizen of the town was the legendary shearer, Jack Howe. In 1892, he sheared a total of 321 sheep in 7 hours and 40 minutes, a record for hand shears that still stands, and was only broken by electric shears in 1950 with their introduction.
Blackall has many attractions for public use and entertainment. Included are The Blackall Showgrounds and the Local Pool, the Historic Blackall Woolscour. |
