History


Wanamarra (also known as Maykulan and Wunumura is an Australian Aboriginal language in North West Queensland. The language region includes areas within the Shire of McKinlay, Shire of Cloncurry and Shire of Richmond, including the Flinders River area, and the towns of Kynuna and Richmond.[2]

The Shire of Wyangarie, named for a prominent grazing homestead in the area,[3] was created on 1 January 1916 out of part of the Shire of Flinders under the Local Authorities Act 1902.[4] On 24 July 1930, it lost part of its area to Shire of McKinlay. On 31 July 1954, it was renamed Richmond.
