The Maranoa Electorate is an area of 546,830 square kilometres, making it the second largest federal electorate in Queensland. It abounds in natural resources, primary industries and pioneering icons which reflect the heart and heritage of Australia. Coal, oil, gas, cotton, beef, wool, grain, wine, olives, fruit, vegetables, gemstones, education, manufacturing and other services are just a few of the industries in the electorate that continue to make large contributions to employment and to the wealth of the nation.

Tourism is a flourishing industry with many visitors flocking to experience what Maranoa has to offer, including the spectacular Queen Mary Falls, Palms National Park, Bunya Mountains, and all of the images of the Australian outback brought to life by the region. Maranoa is also home to many sites that are a celebration of Australia's heritage, including Glengallen Homestead in Warwick, Jimbour House near Dalby, the Birdsville Races and the Burke & Wills Dig Tree.

The spirit and innovative nature of the people of this electorate make me very proud to represent Maranoa in the capacity of Federal Member and I encourage those who either live or are visiting here to experience and take advantage of all that this electorate has to offer.

The Hon Bruce Scott MP
