Combo Waterhole

Combo Waterhole in a dust haze

Combo Waterhole is a waterhole (billabong) on the Diamantina River at Kynuna, Queensland, Australia. The song "Waltzing Matilda" is probably based on a real incident that happened there in the 1890s.

It is also noted for historic stone-pitched overshot weirs (causeways) built by Chinese labourers in 1883.
