Most local government areas are a single contiguous area (possibly including islands). However, Aboriginal Shires are often defined as a number of disjoint areas each containing an Indigenous community. In the case of the Aboriginal Shire of Woorabinda, the distinct regions are: • part of the locality of
Balcomba (remainder in
Central Highlands Region) • part of the locality of
Bauhinia (remainder in Central Highlands Region) • part of the locality of
Duaringa (remainder in Central Highlands Region) • part of the locality of
Wallaroo (remainder in Central Highlands Region) • the town and locality of
Woorabinda (entirely in the Aboriginal Shire of Woorabinda) == History ==
