Outback in Bloom: A Once-In-A-Lifetime Adventure

An adventure to Outback Queensland this season will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, with refreshed Channel Country offering spectacular scenery after recent flooding.

The iconic red dirt and vast brown plains of the west are now a bold carpet of green with grasslands regenerating, wildflowers in bloom and waterbirds, including pelicans and black swans, revelling in the lush conditions.

Mother Nature has well and truly rolled out the green carpet, and the Outback is putting on the ultimate show.

With stunning scenery, a full events program, bucket-list experiences and great deals on offer, Outback Queensland has all the makings for one epic road trip this season.
