Bowen River, Strathmore, Queensland, Australia

The only references that I have are from the Queensland Mineral Index, Dunstan, 1913, Queensland Geological Survey Publication No. 241 as follows:
Location 1: Prehnite with native copper, 4 miles from Sonoma Station, Coral Creek, Bowen River, 54 miles SSW of Bowen
Location 2: Prehnite, Pelican Creek, 50 miles SW of Bowen
Location 3: Prehnite with copper carbonate, in altered volcanic rock, Strathmore Creek, a branch of the Bowen River, 55 miles SW of Bowen

As these are such old references, it is possible that none of them are the locality for the material that came out in the 1980s which is simply labelled as Bowen River.
