Barringun, Queensland Barringun, Queensland Barringun is a rural locality in Paroo Shire, Queensland, Australia, on the border with New South Wales. It is on the road between Cunnamulla, Queensland and Bourke, New South Wales. To the north of the locality is Binya National Park. Barringun is also the 'capital' of the self-proclaimed Murrawarri Republic. The name "Barringun" derives from an early settlement (possibly a pastoral station) on the Warrego River, which can be seen on an 1887 map as being just south of the New South Wales border. It is possibly an Aboriginal word meaning "fish die in the water". Prior to
