The only connection that the Julia Creek Opera House has with its more famous Sydney cousin is that they share the same birthday � the quirky Outback humour at play here! While you�re unlikely to see performances of Carmen, Madam Butterfly or The Barber of Seville, you will find historical pictures, collected over the last 100 years, telling the stories of Julia Creek�s pioneers and heroes. Julia Creek was the first European settlement in north western Queensland. It has always been a service centre for the surrounding wool and sheep properties and today, increasingly, it is a stopping point for people driving from Townsville to Mount Isa and the Northern Territory on the Overlander's Way.
