Highlights of Outback Queensland

Roma

Roma is a delightful town located 479km west of Brisbane. This thriving community of nearly 7,000 people is a rich sheep and cattle grazing area and the largest cattle market in Australia. Be immersed in tales of Roma’s past.

Longreach

If you draw a line through the heart of Queensland, and you’ll come to Longreach, an outback town on the Thomson River, appropriately named for its position on its longest reach. Visitors here can enjoy the Qantas Founders Outback Museum and renowned Stockman’s Hall of Fame.

Winton

Winton, found on the traditional lands of the Koa people, is most famous for being the place where Banjo Patterson wrote the bush ballad Waltzing Matilda. It is also home to the largest collection of unique dinosaur fossils in Australia, so there is something for everyone in this charming town.

Charters Towers

A booming town during the gold rush of 1880s, it was home to the first regional stock exchange in Australia. Like Winton, many dinosaur discoveries have been made here. Learn about life on a cattle station, living in the bush and sustainable grazing practices that are employed in this region.
