Geography
Wills is in the Channel Country. All watercourses in this area are part of the Lake Eyre drainage basin,[3] and most will dry up before their water reaches Lake Eyre.[4]
The predominant land use is grazing on native vegetation.[3]
The locality of Boulia is an "island" within Wills,[3] which is contrary to the locality boundary principles of the Queensland Government.[5]
Education
There are no schools in Wills. The nearest primary school is in Boulia.[3] The nearest secondary schools are in Winton and Mount Isa which are both too far for a daily commute.[3] The Spinifex State College in Mount Isa offers boarding facilities.[6] Other boarding schools or distance education would be options.
