Cloncurry Freight Services

Mount Isa is the larger mining centre about 120 km west, but Cloncurry is the junction town — the Flinders Highway from Townsville meets the Burke Developmental Road here. Freight heading to or from Mount Isa typically passes through Cloncurry, and QFM uses this position to consolidate loads for the broader NW Queensland corridor.

Copper-mining equipment, construction materials, town retail replenishment, institutional supply and pallet loads for mine-services contractors. The Burke corridor also carries freight for remote outback stations and communities north toward Burketown and Normanton.

Road freight from Brisbane to Cloncurry typically takes three to five business days depending on carrier schedules. The route runs north to Townsville via the Bruce Highway, then west on the Flinders Highway — about 1,700 km total. QFM can also evaluate rail or air options for time-critical loads.

Yes, subject to carrier availability and road conditions. The Burke Developmental Road runs north from Cloncurry toward Normanton and Burketown — QFM coordinates with outback-specialist carriers for these remote runs, particularly during the dry season when access is most reliable.
