The sources were primarily secondary because they were mostly papers from the early 1800s and spreading to the 1900s and early 2000s.

Longreach is located in Central Western Queensland and the regions consist of other outback township like Ilfracombe, Isisford and Yaraka.1 Since I will be doing 6 weeks of rural placement in Longreach, I believe it is essential for me to learn more about the background of the community and the place itself. In the 2011 Census, there were 3,625 people in Longreach with 6.9% of the population are made up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders (ATSIs).2 The median age of people in Longreach was 33 years old2 while the main economy sector are cattle and sheep production and tourism1.
