Killarney, located in Queensland, Australia, offers excellent cross-country (XC) paragliding opportunities. The site features an eastern launch with an altitude of 1002 meters, recently grassed over. The valley in front leads to the Condamine Gorge, with Carr's Lookout visible on the horizon. A house thermal in front and slightly to the left of the launch is fed from the gorge.
