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.

Moura Miner’s Memorial is a memorial dedicated to all 50 mine workers who were tragically killed in either mine disasters or individual fatalities in the Moura Kianga Open Cuts and Underground Mines. The project has been developed by the MOURA Miners' Memorial Moura Community Progress Inc in consultation with the Moura Coal and Country Historical Society and Banana Shire Council. Under a domed roof, 50 shafts of light will beam to a central circle surrounded by terraced seating on the ‘coal wall’. The memorial will serve as the town’s gathering space to remember all lives lost since 1961. Viewers will enter the memorial via a ‘mine shaft’ entrance where the names of those who died are listed.

Did you know that the Royal Historical Society of Queensland, which runs the Commissariat Store, is also a trustee of the Dig Tree in south west Queensland? You are welcome to visit the Dig Tree Reserve and reminded to tread carefully at this remote and fragile site. The site was refurbished in 2020. The health of the three heritage-listed trees is now protected by a boardwalk and remedial work to the nearby creek bank. Discreet signage tells the site’s tragic story. Three-dimensional replicas of all six blazes allow visitors to view the original messages carved in the trees. Some of the original blazes are still partly visible on the trees which can be viewed closely from the boardwalk. There is a conservation fee of $20 per vehicle or $60 per bus to visit the Dig Tree Reserve. If you are planning a visit to the Dig Tree, you can pre-pay the conservation fee on https://tinyurl.com/DigTreeFee Definitely one to add to your list to see when you come to Outback Queensland. You can find more information about the Dig Tree here http://www.thedigtree.com.au/ #outbackqueensland #outbackqldmagicmoments #digtree @rhs_qld #digtreereserve #burkeandwills #royalhistoricalsocietyofqueensland #rhsq #visitbulloo #explorebulloo #bullooshire @explorebulloo #bullooshirecouncil #getoutside #outback #staysafe #4wd #australianoutback #outbacklife #wheretonext #hittheroad #exploremore #roadtrip #fromwhereyoudratherbe #lovewherewelive #thisisqueensland #beautifulonedayperfectthenext #seeaustralia #holidayherethisyear

A sight you’ll see plenty of across Outback Queensland especially in Roma. Here you’ll find the largest commercially operational windmill in Queensland. Manufactured by Southern Cross can be viewed at close range on the grounds of Pumps and Solar. Built in 1950 by the Toowoomba Foundry, the windmill has a 9 metre diameter wheel and is 15 metres high.

The day after Cyclone Imogen crossed over the Carpentaria Shire. It's calm now but the residents and businesses of Karumba and Normanton certainly felt her Category 1 presence. The clean up is underway with fallen trees, damage to buildings and power outages. Thankfully no one was injured. Our thoughts are with our friends in the Gulf.

You can’t get any more Outback than brolgas, a road train and a road house! The only one missing in the photo is the @blueheelerhotel here in Kynuna. It's no surprise Banjo Paterson himself frequented here, and it's said that both the Waltzing Matilda’s swagman and the squatter had their last drinks inside these walls. Plus if you give a donation to the @royalflyingdoc Service of Australia you can leave your name on their wall. If only these walls could talk!

More than 130 years in the making, Thangool in @sandstonewonders first opened to settlers, who tried it as a sheep run in the 1850s. Soon to fail, beef cattle were introduced and later, dairy and cotton took hold. Based on the success of these industries, a make-shift town sprang up. Today, the town is home to a sizeable squab industry, providing Australia with 60 per cent of its squab supplies. As you travel through the district, you’ll see large paddocks of sorghum, wheat, sunflower, barley and mung bean crops, the mainstays of local food production. The Lawgi Hall is a free camping site just south of the township on Australia’s Country Way (A3). You can’t miss it! Just look for the bright sunset and bottle tree mural. There are plenty of grass areas to park behind the hall and a donation left in the honour box would be much appreciated. #outbackqueensland #thangool #lawgihall #freecamping #lifebestmoments #exploremore #getoutside #fromwhereyoudratherbe #walkingtrail #outbackqldmagicmoments #freeecamp #getoutandexplore #bananashire #outbacklife #donationsappreciated #wheretonext #muralart #streetart #artwork #sandstonewonders #thisisqueensland #goodtogo #beautifulonedayperfectthenext #seeaustralia #holidayherethisyear

Be sure to look up tomorrow night (Monday 21st of December) as it will mark a rare conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn (the alignment of these two planets). With only about a 10th of a degree separating the two planets — that's a fifth of the width of the Moon — this is the closest they will have appeared in the sky to each other in nearly 400 years. The last time it occurred was in 1623. Although they will still be hundreds of millions of km’s apart, to the naked eye, they will appear as though they are nearly touching – resulting in what’s been dubbed as a Christmas Star! If the weather is clear, you'll be able to see the spectacle with the naked eye, about an hour after sunset. But be quick - it'll only be visible for an hour or so before disappearing below the western horizon. #outbackqueensland #charleville #experiencecharleville #charlevillecosmoscentre #charlevilleqld #cosmoscentre #christmasstar #jupiter #saturn #looktothesky #astronomy #stargazing #nightphotography #milkyway #stargazer #observatory #stars #galaxy #nightsky #dontmissit #outbackstargazing #getoutside #exploremore #fromwhereyoudratherbe #lovewherewelive #thisisqueensland #goodtogo #beautifulonedayperfectthenext #seeaustralia #holidayherethisyear

Everyone wants to say they’ve had a beer at the @birdsvillehotel Since 1884, it’s weathered sandstone walls have been a welcome refuge to travellers from across the globe. A destination in its own right, the pub has endured floods, fires and even cyclones to stand as a symbol of the spirit and character of the outback.

Step back in time where everyday early outback life is on display. The small but delightful Morven Historical Museum contains some fascinating memorabilia. A must see is the miniature replica pioneer township. Painstakingly recreated over 15 years, buildings that have long gone have been preserved. The attention to detail of the buildings and the early building techniques makes this display a unique outback attraction. The Museum also has a collection of Aboriginal grinding stones, stone axe heads, spears, coolamons and boomerangs. In the grounds there is the ‘tin hut’, built of flattened kerosene tins, which is a testament to outback ingenuity. Built as housing during the great depression of the 1930s, these huts were common homes for pensioners. With only a few remaining today, Morven is fortunate to have one on display. #outbackqueensland #outbackqldmagicmoments #morven #experiencecharleville #pioneers #miniaturetowns #réplica #murwehshire #murweh #murwehshirecouncil #matildaway #museum #aboriginalaustralia #aboriginalcollection #getoutside #historicalmuseum #memorabilia #history #exploremore #fromwhereyoudratherbe #lovewherewelive #thisisqueensland #goodtogo #beautifulonedayperfectthenext #seeaustralia #holidayherethisyear
Swanvale rest area and lookout is situated half way between Stonehenge and Jundah (approximately 1200kms north west of Brisbane). At the top of the “jump up”, a rest area offers scenic views and a great place to enjoy the sun setting into the western horizon. Looking East from the Jump Up you take in the Johnstone Ranges which run between the Thomson and Barcoo Rivers. #outbackqueensland #outbackqldmagicmoments #jundah #jundahqld #stonehenge #stonehengeqld #barcooway #visitbarcoo #swanvalerestarea #jumpup #lookout #restarea #adventuredrive #drivejourney #4wd #4wdtrip #roadtrip #roadtrips #roadtripideas #hittheroad #sunset #getoutside #exploremore #fromwhereyoudratherbe #lovewherewelive #thisisqueensland #goodtogo #beautifulonedayperfectthenext #seeaustralia #holidayherethisyear
