Goondiwindi is located on the Queensland/NSW border, and sits at the junction of six major highways, the Cunningham, Newell, Bruxner, Barwon, Leichhardt and Gore. It is a modern and vibrant community, while retaining the simplicity and charm of a traditional rural town. Agricultural production is the mainstay of the local economy. The fertile, heavy clay soils of the river valleys ensure a strong demand for farming and grazing land. Cotton is the major industry, along with substantial quantities of oats, barley, sorghum, chickpeas and soybeans.
