Welcome to Maranoa! The Maranoa Electorate is an area of 731,297 square kilometres, making it the 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, the Black Stump in Blackall, Longreach’s Qantas Founders’ Museum and Stockman’s Hall of Fame, the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum and the Waltzing Matilda Centre in Winton, and the Burke & Wills Dig Tree in far western Queensland. 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
