Landsborough Highway
Landsborough Highway is a western Queensland highway running in the northwest-southeast direction from Morven to Cloncurry. The Landsborough Highway runs through vast tracts of land that was once occupied by William Landsborough, an Australian explorer of the 19th century. It is also known as Matilda Highway after the popular Australian song Waltzing Matilda.
It forms an important part of the National Highway linking Brisbane and Darwin. The highway is currently designated National Highway A2. Its importance also stems from the fact that it is the only sealed link between Flinders Highway and Capricorn Highway apart from the road between Emerald and Charter Towers.
The Highway services an important sheep and cattle grazing region, tourist traffic and local properties. The highway is fully sealed but with many sections of substandard width and quality. It is also flood-prone with lenghty closures during floods.
