The Diamantina Developmental Road is a gazetted road entirely in Queensland, that runs from Charleville in the south-central part of the state to Mount Isa in the north-west.[1] It passes through the towns of Quilpie, Windorah, Bedourie, Boulia, and Dajarra in its 1439 kilometer length, and most of it is sealed.[2] Some sections between Windorah and Boulia are unsealed. The road crosses several well known rivers and creeks of the Channel Country of south-west Queensland, including the Paroo River, Bulloo River, Cooper Creek and Diamantina River. Maintenance of the road is the responsibility of the Queensland State Government.[1]
