Geography

Warenda is in the Channel Country. All watercourses in this area are part of the Lake Eyre drainage basin,[3] and most will dry up before their water reaches Lake Eyre.[4]

The predominant land use is grazing on native vegetation.[3]

Education

There are no schools in Warenda. The nearest primary schools are in Boulia and Dajarra but might be infeasible for a daily commute.[3] The nearest secondary schools are in Winton and Mount Isa and are all too far for a daily commute.[3] The Spinifex State College in Mount Isa offers boarding facilities.[5] Other boarding schools or distance education would be options.

gollark: Hmm, okay then. As in, a big dropoff right after that happened, or just a general decline around the same time?
gollark: You seem to think that laws drive social attitude change. I think it's somewhat the other way round.
gollark: You should say it that way initially then. It's clearer.
