Roma is a town in the Maranoa district of South
West Queensland, Australia, 515 km (320 mi) by
rail WNW of Brisbane. It is situated at the
junction of the Warrego and Carnarvon
highways. It is the centre of a rich pastoral
and wheat-growing district, Hotels, pubs, and
churches feature prominently near the
centre of town. The ten hotels are within easy
walking distance with most adjacent to another
hotel. St Paul's Anglican Church is a copy of
a 13th Century English Church in the shape of
crucifix.

Roma has a humid subtropical climate, which
gets enough precipitation to avoid the semi-
arid climate. Its location on the far south of
the Carnarvon Range at an elevation of 299
meters above sea level means that it is cooler
and wetter than the plains to the south and
west, while being warmer and drier than areas
to the north and east.
