Geography[]
The watercourse Farrars Creek flows through the locality from the north-east (Stonehenge) to the south-west, where it becomes a tributary of the Diamantina River, part of the Lake Eyre drainage basin.[3]
The Diamantina Developmental Road passes through the locality from the south-east (Windorah) to west (Bedourie). The Birdsville Developmental Road passes through the locality from the south-east (Windorah) to the south (Tanbar).[3]
The principal land use is grazing on native vegetation.[3]
History[]
Karuwali (also known as Garuwali, Dieri) is a language of far western Queensland. The Karuwali language region includes the landscape within the local government boundaries of the Diamantina Shire Council, including the localities of Betoota and Haddon Corner.[4]
The locality takes its name from the creek, which in turn takes its name after a stockman called Farrar who was employed on John Costello's pastoral property Kyabra.[5]
