Pitteroo County, Queensland
is a cadastral division of Queensland and a County of the Warrego Land District of southwestern Queensland.
The county came into existence in the 19th century, but on 8 March 1901, when the Governor of Queensland issued a proclamation legally dividing Queensland into counties under the Land Act 1897.[1]
Like all counties in Queensland, it is a non-functional administrative unit, that is used mainly for the purpose of registering land titles. From 30 November 2015, the government no longer referenced counties and parishes in land information systems however the Museum of Lands, Mapping and Surveying retains a record for historical purposes.[2]
The entire county is incorporated. The south boundary of the County is the Narriearra Caryapundy Swamp National Park in state of New South Wales. This area is unincorporated.
Climate[edit]
Pitteroo County has a hot semi-arid climate (Köppen BSh), very closely bordering on a hot arid climate (BWh), which is found in the western part of the shire. Summers are sweltering and generally dry except when monsoonal incursions into the continent bring heavy rain, whilst winters are warm and dry with cool to cold mornings.
The state bprder forms the sothern boundary of the County and Narriearra Caryapundy Swamp National Park in New South Wales is to the south of the county.
