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.

What To Do In The Outback
Meanwhile in #OutbackQueensland
Here's your chance to hit the road, get the red dust under your tyres and really explore the outback with the @barcooway (509km). Who doesn't want to camp beside a billabong, 4wd across a claypan and reel in a champion Yellowbelly. Follow the mighty Barcoo west from its headwaters in the Great Dividing Range through to where it joins the Thomson River and flows peacefully into Cooper Creek. Trek along the river road skirting the tranquil billabongs of the famous Barcoo River. These backroads take you through the prime sheep and cattle lands of Blackall – Tambo and Isisford to the rocky outcrops of Yaraka and through to the corrugated red dunes of Windorah. Discover awesome National Parks and incredible raw landscapes. Get ready to 'Take the Drive'...

Have you met Mutt? He stands tall and proud on the Stansfield/Gray street intersection in Hughenden. Mutt is a fibreglass full bodied Muttaburrasaurus replica standing about eight metres long and four metres high. The first Muttaburrasaurus was discovered along the Thompson River in 1963 in Muttaburra, Central Queensland. Since this first discovery there have been several Muttaburrasaurus finds in the Outback Queensland including here in the Flinders Shire. Make sure to pull up and take a photo with the gentle giant! #outbackqueensland #muttaburrasaurus #exploreyourbackyard #outbackqldmagicmoments #flindersdiscoverycentre #dinosaurs #dinosaurtrail #australiandinosaurtrail #replica #dinosaursofinstagram #dinosaur #fossil #fossils #visithughenden #hughenden #roadtrip #roadtrips #roadtripideas #hittheroad #getoutside #exploremore #wheretonext #fromwhereyoudratherbe #lovewherewelive #thisisqueensland #goodtogo #beautifulonedayperfectthenext #seeaustralia #holidayherethisyear

Known by the locals as ‘Fraggle Rock’, Nun’s Crossing offers a spectacular swimming spot for families. Pack a picnic to enjoy along the banks of the river and watch your little ones to play in the shallow water. Or bring your kayaks or SUP's and paddle your way down the river. The best way to experience Nun’s Crossing is to make a day of it, sightseeing along the way with the Glenmoral Self Drive Trail. This 76 km trek from Theodore takes about one hour but this can vary if you stop to immerse yourself in the experiences along the way. Once you’ve taken in the views of Glenmoral Range, the spectacular Glenmoral Gorge and the Dawson Mine you’ll arrive at Nun’s Crossing. #outbackqueensland #theodoreqld #nunscrossing #fragglerock #lifebestmoments #exploreyourbackyard #swimminghole #kayaking #sup #fishing #exploremore #greatforkids #getoutside #selfdrive #picnic #hittheroad #roadtrip #fromwhereyoudratherbe #walkingtrail #wheretonext #happyplace #outbackqldmagicmoments #dayout #familydayout #sandstonewonders #thisisqueensland #goodtogo #beautifulonedayperfectthenext #seeaustralia #holidayherethisyear

Today marks the start of International Dark Sky Week, 5-12 April. There's no better place to appreciate the dark skies than in Outback Queensland! This is a week dedicated to observing and appreciating the beauty of a light-pollution free night sky. This week is about trying to: • temporarily reduce light pollution in your home or area, • raise awareness about the effect of light pollution on the night sky, local wildlife, flora growth patterns, and our own health, • encourage the use of better lighting systems (economical bulbs, directing outside lights to face downwards instead of into the sky, ensuring lights are only as bright as necessary), • promote the study of astronomy and, • reduce the amount of blue light emissions.

Taroom is steeped in early European history and built on primary industries – first sheep, now cattle and grain. The region opened up to settlers in the 1840’s with the northern exploits of early explorer Ludwig Leichhardt. The good doctor took a liking to the place while camped by the Dawson River, carving his initials and year date – LL 1844 – into the bark of a Coolabah tree. The initials long since gone but the tree still stands pride of place in the main street, which is as it happens, is the Leichhardt Highway. A pleasant walk up the hill takes you to Gilbert’s Lookout, named after Leichhardt’s companion who met a violent end here. Across town in Yaldwyn Street, Leichhardt Park is the site of Leichhardt’s memorial. #outbackqueensland #taroom #visittaroom #sandstonewonders #exploremore #dawsonriver #memorialpark #getoutside #fromwhereyoudratherbe #outbackqldmagicmoments #memorial #ludwigleichhardt #leichhardthighway #treesofinstagram #europeanhistory #pioneerhistory #pioneers #explorer #settlers #leichhardttree #rememberthem #getoutandexplore #bananashire #outbacklife #wheretonext #thisisqueensland #goodtogo #beautifulonedayperfectthenext #seeaustralia #holidayherethisyear

Queensland National Parks have announced a name change. In respect for First Nations’ languages and cultures the Camooweal Caves National Park has been renamed Wiliyan-ngurru National Park (pronounced Will-ee-yun-ngoo-roo). This name is the local Indjalandji-Dhidhanu peoples term for the rough-tailed goanna, or the ridge-tailed monitor as it is most commonly known. Amongst many benefits, the renaming of the park serves to remind visitors of the cultural significance of the area and the Dreamings within the park where ancestral spirits have travelled, shaping and inhabiting the landscape and leaving behind stories and legends. Key sites including caves, waterholes, ceremonial and burial sites are among many that hold immense cultural value to the Traditional Owners of the area. Please keep this in mind the next time you’re visiting.

Two years ago the @stockmanshalloffame and Outback Heritage Centre commenced the biggest transformation in its 30-year history, with a leading artistic and creative direction of the bush icon’s $15 million gallery redevelopment. The upgrade is a bold, new vision for the Longreach tourist attraction which will involve completely redesigning the Centre’s five themed galleries. All-new exhibits will tell the stories of Australia’s pioneering history, at the same time pushing the boundaries of innovative storytelling and immersive design, and staying true to the founding spirit of the Centre. The project commenced in November 2019 with Stage 1- the new Garraway café & dining precinct, The Outback Cinematic Experience, Billabong redesign was completed in May 2020. The Café, Cinema & Souvenir shop is open Tuesday - Saturday 10.00am-2.00pm The Museum will reopen on the 01st April. #outbackqueensland #ashof #stockmanshalloffame #halloffame #stockman #heritagecentre #outbackheritage #heritage #longreach #experiencelongreach #getoutside #outback #touristattraction #reopening #museum #australianoutback #outbacklife #exploremore #roadtrip #bookonline #fromwhereyoudratherbe #lovewherewelive #thisisqueensland #goodtogo #beautifulonedayperfectthenext #seeaustralia #holidayherethisyear This initiative has been funded by the Federal Government Community Development Grants program.

Last but certainly not the least update for the 2020 @ausstreetartawards Best Sculpture Park or Trail is Bronze for Lake Dunn Sculpture Trail. What started as one woman's pledge to make a country road more interesting for local school children has grown into the longest free-to-the-public sculpture trail in the world. The Trail has 40 sculptures created by artist Milynda Rogers aka @scrapmetalsheila from discarded and recycled metal, depicting mostly animals and many displaying a touch of outback humour.
