Blackall …a town beyond the black stump in QLD

In Australian slang, "beyond the Black Stump" refers to a remote or uncivilized area, often used to describe the outback or the perceived limits of civilization. It's an expression signifying a place far from established settlements and closer to the "back of beyond". The Black Stump itself is an imaginary point, though some towns like Blackall in Queensland have claimed the title of the "original" Black Stump
