	Cunnamulla, Queensland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Walkabout - Cunnamulla
		The area around Cunnamulla was first settled in the late 1840s after it had been explored by Sir Thomas Mitchell, who passed through the area in 1846 while searching for a route to the Gulf of Carpentaria.
		Cunnamulla was one of many settlements which grew up in South-West Queensland as a result of the activities of Cobb & Co. but it is the only one to have survived.
		The survival of Cunnamulla was undoubtedly linked to the reliable water supply provided by the Warrego River (in fact the word 'Cunnamulla' is widely accepted to be an Aboriginal term meaning either 'big waterhole' or 'long stretch of water') and to the arrival of the railway in 1899.

	Cunnamulla: triple j film reviews
		Cunnamulla was made by one of Australia's most successful and dedicated documentary makers, Dennis O'Rourke.
		Cunnamulla is a powerful film, poetic, confronting and most importantly, courageous; it's a film unafraid to show a side of Australia some people may not be comfortable seeing.
		Cunnamulla displays great nerve and artistry; it's subjects (or "characters" as O'Rourke likes to call them) are people we all know; they are in the end "us", the film makes that very clear - these guys show us exactly what they're made of.
