Barcy, as it is affectionately known as by locals, was made famous for its role in the Australian labour movement and the birth of the Australian Labor Party. In 1891, the little country town was one of the focal points of the Australian shearers' strike.

Located 520 kilometres west of Rockhampton and more than 1000 kilometres north west of Brisbane, the sunny central Queensland town is the perfect spot for big solar.
