Outback Queensland Information
The Queensland Outback is both strikingly beautiful and surprisingly full of life. History is alive and well here, and some of it goes way back.
Each outback town has its own story to tell, each built around its own unique piece of the Australian story. There are attractions you’ve probably heard about, but a lot more you probably wont have.
And the bush is famous for its hospitality for good reason. In the outback, you can really gain a sense of where the Australian spirit of innovation, self reliance and determination came from. You can go home, but once you’ve felt that spirit, it will never leave you.
From amazing spring wildflowers to the Channel Country, this is an area of diverse landscapes.
Fossick for opals at Yowah, Cunnamulla and Quilpie, explore the universe's wonders at Charleville's Cosmos Centre, seek out birdlife in saltwater and freshwater habitats and relax at the Great Artisan Spa in Mitchell.
Check out the Interpretive Centres in Mount Isa, Richmond and Hughenden. Take a tour of an underground mine in the eye-opening mining city of Mount Isa. Nearby Cloncurry commemorates the ground-breaking work undertaken by Dr John Flynn and the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
