Amidst all the horror of the past few months, the disastrous bushfire season has proven that the Australian spirit is alive and well.

The latest show of mateship comes via the outback Queensland town of Cunnamulla, part of the Paroo Shire Council.

Despite being hundreds of kilometres away from any fire danger, Cunnamulla is opening up its doors to those most in need.

The community has been struggling with population decline over the past 30 years - aided in part by the severe drought they've been through.

As a result, the town has a large supply of vacant homes, most owned by investors.

Paroo Shire Mayor Lindsay Godfrey said he wanted to make good use of those empty properties.

"Our challenge is to get those houses together with the need that there is out there. Council will act as facilitator for all this, we've had a lot of interest in this from the community." Mr Godfrey told Weekend Sunrise on Sunday.

More than 11 million hectares of land across New South Wales and Victoria have been burned in the worst fire season on record.

27 people have been killed, and more than 2000 homes have been lost.

The council will work with the newly-announced National Bushfire Recovery Agency, to help get families in need into homes.

Mr Godfrey hopes that families who experience all that Paroo Shire has to offer, fall in love with the place.

"Our town was built around a larger population, predominantly based on the wool industry, so we have huge services available. Our medical services, education, all of our different services here are second to none.

"We'd be hoping that some might stay."
