Bendemere Shire

Bendemere Shire, an area of 3940 sq km, and generally 370 km north-west of Brisbane and 60 km east of Roma, was amalgamated with four other local government areas in 2008 to form Roma Regional Council. The former shire was bisected by the Warrego Highway, where two of the shire's three main towns, Yuleba and Wallumbilla, are located (the third major settlement being Jackson). The shire's administrative centre was Yuleba.
