Outback and country QLD Australia

This is the real Australia.

Queensland’s Outback is a vast and ancient land that moves at a different pace to the modern-day world. It commands respect with its unforgiving landscape, but will capture your heart with its breath-taking beauty.

It’s a land where the dinosaurs once roamed and the Brolgas now dance. A land of rare and endangered animals and night skies so clear and bright you can almost touch the universe.

Camp by a billabong or visit the cradle of Australian culture at historic Longreach. Muster cattle on a wild Western Downs farm stay or enjoy a beer and a steak at an old-fashioned country pub.

As you get off the beaten track, you’ll discover remote wilderness still largely unexplored by Europeans. Take an Outback safari through the wild Matilda Country, or try your luck fossicking on the Gemfields of Central Queensland. Who knows, you just might strike it rich! Then as the sun dips below the horizon, hook yourself a fresh barramundi, and enjoy a fishy feast over an open fire.
