Outback Top 10's
Choose your own Outback adventure
Where To Go
North West
Things can get wild in Queensland’s rugged North West. Visit the thriving mining town of Mount Isa, saddle up for the Mount Isa Rodeo, the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, and drop in at the historic Underground Hospital built during WWII.
Canoe through vivid red gorges in the Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park and search for ancient fossils in the limestone outcrops of Riversleigh World Heritage Area. Head to Hughenden to see 'Hughie', the seven-metre Muttaburrasaurus and an impressive fossil collection.
And, don’t leave without visiting the Porcupine Gorge National Park.
Far West
Queensland’s Far West is the place for adventurers. Explore the rugged Simpson Desert by 4WD, see the Big Red sand dune glow at sunset and watch thousands of migratory birds flock to the wetlands of the Diamantina National Park.
If you’re looking for outback entertainment, catch a famous Australian band at the Big Red Bash or back a winner at the Birdsville Races.
South West
The closest section of Outback Queensland to Brisbane, the South West is home to colourful characters, wedge-tailed eagles and boulder opals.
Bathe in mineral-rich mud at the Eulo Mud Baths, meet a tiny endangered marsupial at the Charleville Bilby Experience Centre and peer into the heavens at the Charleville Cosmos Centre.
East
Banana Shire has many natural attractions including gorges, rivers and National Parks such as the Glebe Weir and Expedition National Park. Visit Lake Murphy, Kroombit Tops and Mt. Scoria Conservation Parks, or relax at Isla and Cania Gorges.
The Dawson River and Callide Dam provide many opportunities for fishing and water sports. The Shire can also provide many adventures for the 4WD enthusiast.
Central West
The Central West is the heart of Outback Queensland, a place built by pioneers and stockmen. Visit Longreach, the birthplace of an Australian icon at the Qantas Founders Museum and learn about the region’s fascinating history at the Stockman’s Hall of Fame. Learn about Waltzing Matilda in Winton where the song was original performed.
Longreach Airport is on the edge of town, with flights arriving from Brisbane and Townsville. You can also catch the Spirit of the Outback train from Rockhampton.

Glide through the calm waters of @cobboldgorge Be inspired by ancient sandstone structures that stand up to 30 metres tall. The best way to experience this hidden oasis is to venture by boat or if you’re up to it, a SUP! You can also see the beauty from above on their walking tour which includes a crossing on the glass bridge! Or if you love to go higher, then you’re in for a treat when you see it from a helicopter!

From the 16th to the 18th September the Booringa Fire & Water Festival will celebrate the unique history, connection to this land and all of the wonderful things @mitchellqld & surrounds has to offer! Booringa means 'fire and water' in the Gunggari languages that once sung the land around Mitchell into being. It is a word that has ancient roots going back to the time before time. It is a word that has special meaning now; especially in a time when water drawn from deep underground has been known to burn in some places across the Maranoa region. It is believed that fire and water do not mix and yet in strange ways they do. Without fire and water this country would not be what it is. Much of the environment in Australia has evolved and been traditionally managed by fire, and without water life ends very quickly. The festival was created to honour the connections together (Nalingu) to the country that gives life as well as livelihoods to those who call this region home. It is a living land - that lives on in those who would listen to what it has to say. #outbackqueensland #booringafireandwaterfestival #mitchell #romarevealed #fireandwater #festival #fireandwaterfestival #outbackfestival #outbackfest #thingstodo #entertainment #indigenous #indigenousfestival #getoutside #outback #australianoutback #outbacklife #exploremore #roadtrip #mitchellqld #getyourtickets #buynow #fromwhereyoudratherbe #lovewherewelive #thisisqueensland #dayslikethis #goodtogo #itslive #seeaustralia #holidayherethisyear

The Native Wells, located approximately 90 kilometres west of Windorah on the Diamantina Development Road, offer a quick stop by the side of the road and an opportunity to view the native wells, and read a little bit about them on the Information board available. Native Wells in Australia have been used for centuries by Aboriginal people as a water source. Wells in Outback Queensland are dry most of the time, however during a wet season, the water is filtered through cap rock and pools in the natural depressions, that are then used by people and animals alike.
