Warra
Description
History
Warra is a town and locality in the Western Downs Region, Queensland. The town is located to the west of centre of the locality, and the Condamine River forms the southwestern boundary.
The town takes its name from the Warra Warra pastoral run, which was previously called 'Cobble Cobble'. The run was operated by Henry Dennis in the late 1840s, by Colin McKenzie from 1848, and by Mr. Thorne circa 1864.
The name Warra Warra is believed to be from the Mandandanji language meaning 'a woman carrying a load, or plenty of water'.
In the 2021 census, the locality of Warra had a population of 180 people.
