Emmet is a ghost town in the rural locality of Isisford in the Longreach Region of Queensland, Australia.[1]

Once a prosperous town built around a railway siding, today it only has a population of two.[citation needed] The site now contains a picnic shelter and a small museum that is housed in the former railway station building. Its relative proximity to the Idalia National Park makes it a popular stopping off point for tourists.[2]
