Outback Queensland...
If you're looking for a great break, get out and explore Queensland's spectacular Outback. From rollicking stockmen, to quiet fishing spots, to desert sand dunes, and even the odd fossilized dinosaur, there's nowhere quite like it. Queensland's Outback has it all.
Experience its spectacular wonders, follow in the footsteps of early pioneers, marvel at the rugged terrain, fish, or swim, in beautiful Coolabah lined rivers. Your choice. The wide-open spaces, the people, the places, Queensland's Outback offers you an adventure like no other. It’s a region of stark contrasts… lush fishing holes and desert sand dunes, dinosaur fossils and the most genuinely friendly locals you’ll ever meet. It really is a place quite unlike any other and it’s just waiting for you to discover it. So grab a trusty map and vehicle, and come embark on an authentic Australian holiday.
Whether you're after a long weekend getaway or a leisurely adventure, the Outback is easily accessible. Today, sealed roads, a large range of
accommodation options,
comprehensive day tours and modern facilities make exploring out here more comfortable than ever imagined by its early pioneers. In the South West, with its picturesque bushwalking trails and unspoiled wilderness, you’ll find the real essence of the ‘natural’ bush. You might like to try your hand at fishing in the many billabongs, rivers and lakes, while admiring the countless species of birdlife.
Perhaps taking the plunge in a natural mud bath, renowned for its skin-healing properties is more your style or maybe you’d prefer to soak in the hot artesian springs for which the area is famous. Go camping and see stars which stretch forever, or take a four-wheel driving adventure over rugged plains. Experience life on a working livestock station while staying in the comfort of a homestead…complete with warm Outback hospitality. Yes the South West is remarkable area.
In the Central West you can explore the wonderful scenery that inspired the lyrics to Banjo Paterson's iconic ballad “Waltzing Matilda” or you can visit innovative museums, attractions and exhibitions which teach about the pioneering years. The Central West is also the perfect place to enjoy some traditional bush tucker around the campfire and be entertained with yarns of glory days. Come and see where the legend of the stockman started, where Qantas carved its name in the annals of history and where our pastoral industry began.
Then there’s the North West which really is the 'sunburnt country’. Here you’ll see a rugged 'Mars-like' landscape that stretches as far as the eye can see. This is the place where ancient beasts once roamed and where you can experience the spectacular sunsets. Go underground on a working mine tour, trek to breathtaking gorges or try your hand at fossicking; be amazed by stunning hidden lakes and dams and drop your line in for a spot of superb freshwater fishing. The days are warm and dreamy, with cool, crisp nights and who knows, you might find it really is easy to enjoy camping by the river, surrounded only by the sound of tranquility. Ahhh bliss….. Yes, Queensland’s Outback has it all…
