The County of Flinders is a county (a cadastral division) in Queensland, Australia, located in the Central Queensland region between Gladstone and Bundaberg.[1] [2] [3] The county is divided into civil parishes. It was named for Matthew Flinders who explored the Australian coastline.
The county was created on 1 September 1855 by royal proclamation under the Waste Lands Australia Act 1846.[4] On 7 March 1901, the Governor issued a proclamation legally dividing Queensland into counties under the Land Act 1897.[5] Its schedule described Flinders thus:
