GOONDIWINDI

town, southern Queensland, Australia, on the Macintyre River and the Queensland-New South Wales border. It was proclaimed a town in 1888, its name coming from an Aboriginal word meaning "resting place for birds." Goondiwindi is today the service centre for a rich cattle- and sheep-grazing area. Located at the junction of the Cunningham, Bruxner, and Barwon highways, it is a focal point for road transport, particularly the transport of stock from central Queensland to New South Wales across the bridge over the Macintyre at Goondiwindi. Pop. (1981) 3,576.
