Spectacular 360° views of the surrounding landscape located in the middle of nowhere about 50klms outside of Longreach via unsealed roads. Short moderately easy walk to the top of the rocky formation

The drive out from Longreach is about 50km on an unsealed dirt road. The road was in really good condition. Then a short walk along a narrow dirt track to the top. With a Little Rock climb to reach the highest point. The sunset 🌅 was amazing. Beautiful panoramic views. Definitely worth the drive out. Would love ❤️ to go out there again sometime.

Although a last minute decision it ended up being a good detour in my day. Sept 2024, very dry. The road was dirt but pretty good, any vehicle could drive it. I’m in a Ford Transit and kept to a steady 80km/hr most of the way. So it only took 35 mins to do the 48 km. Once there, and I had it all to myself, there’s a clear and obvious rough track up this small hill, hardly a hill at 30m high. It was less than 2 minutes to the top, I really expected it to be more. Great views of the vastness of the lowlands of west Queensland, amazing stuff, remote barren scrub. I think a toilet should be provided as the area is signposted to attract tourists.

50 km from Longreach on 45 km of unsealed road. I’m 60 and used a hiking stick to get to the top, which is a 30 metre climb. Interesting hill surrounded by plains.

The view from the top is nice but there is no indication of walking trails. Getting to see wild animals ( goat, wild pig, cattle, emu) is Made it worth driving through the dirt road.

A nice easy drive from Longreach, it is a dirt road so beware of wash outs! But well worth the lookout after a 30 meter walk to the top.

Amazing place where you can really get in touch with nature. I was there in the evening, so going back to Longreach it was getting dark and the kangaroos were really active. Really good experience.

Knowledgeable staff 👍we caught up with the cattle drovers 👍🐴🐂🐂🐂

Called in on the Saturday to inquire what we could do on the Sunday, as we had done the two major attractions, then was told everything else was closed on Sunday. We then went to train station when the train arrived back from a day out with a bunch of people. They had lunch and markets and said it was well worth it. Thanks to Information centre we missed out .

The Longreach Tourist Information Centre was outstanding - so friendly, helpful, and full of great local advice. Ann, in particular, was amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of our time in Longreach annd helped us with our itinerary. A must-stop for anyone visiting the region.

Went into the centre today and the person was disinterested in helping us. She couldn't even lift her eyes away from her computer. Was not impressed at all.

Ok. Not that helpful when wanting to know what activity was on that day. Was referred to a brochure and to “call individual place”.

Was closed for an hour at 1 to 2 pm. 1 staff member on and had 8 people waiting to book their iternery.

Not very big but very informative staff very obliging

Brilliant aircraft museum paying homage to the four giants of Australian aviation who founded QANTAS (almost destroyed by a small Irishman in recent times). This place is a must visit for any plane buffs or those simply interested in Australian modern history. The indoor museum contains a wealth of knowledge in the form of well curated physical pieces and information displays. The outdoor covered area is the piece de resistance displaying perfectly preserved aircraft spanning 60 years. This place should be on the bucket list of anyone who calls themselves Australian. Simply magnificent.

We did the Premium Economy tour for our family of 6. It was quite expensive, however the lady at the desk gave us a nice discount when we asked. The museum itself is well set out with unique displays and interactive flying simulators for young and old. We enjoyed the tour through the old hanger and found the stories to be quite entertaining and informative. Our tour guide did a great job sharing his knowledge with such a big group and fighting against the wind! We enjoyed walking through the various aircrafts and seeing the progression over time. Again our guide was very informative and knowledgeable with each plane. Our final highlight was walking through the 747, bringing back nostalgic memories for us adults. The kids were in awe of the size of it. We were a little surprised at how much it had aged on the inside.

The Captain’s Tour was absolutely fabulous—an amazing experience from start to finish! Our guide, John, was outstanding: so knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely kind. His passion and expertise made the entire 4-hour tour fly by without a single dull moment. The highlight was walking on the wing of a jumbo jet—an unforgettable experience! Thanks to John’s guidance and enthusiasm, this was a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable tour.

This experience was amazing. We got the first class tickets which included the airpark tour, wing walk and entrance to the museum for the whole day. The airpark was amazing, our guide Ryan was so passionate and funny which made the tour even better. Learning about each plane and the history behind it was one of the highlights of the whole trip. The wing walk tour was so cool. Going out on the wing and seeing the park from above is an eye opening experience. The light show was not included in this ticket so we bought the ticket on the day. The show was incredible and engaging. I would recommend booking, but we were lucky because not many people were watching that night so we just rocked up and were able to watch it. The museum was so interesting as well, there are interactive activities that were so fun and there was so much to learn about. The gift shop was also reasonably priced. Overall such a great experience that I will never forget.

Well worth a visit. We had the business class experience. Our guide Max was great and a mine of useful, interesting information. Likewise John taking us through the evening light show. WOW. Qantas should be funding this whole operation because the benefits to the airline roll out. Highly recommended.

Surprisingly fun. I enjoyed it more than I expected, and our tour guide John was great. A lot of interactive displays so you can try flying in a semi-simulator.

Great museum. Brilliant guide and tour through planes. Souvenirs very ordinary. 10% Sunday surcharge on all goods and at the Cafe. Cafe closes much earlier than the complex.

Fabulous, brilliant. Moving cinema, amazing audio guidedmuseum, outstanding live show, in season. Fantastic selection of souvenirs and good Cafe. Allow 4 to 5 hours for complete package.

We absolutely loved our time at the Stockman's hall of fame. The live show was very well done with lots of humour, beautifully recited poetry, and a lot of great insights. The final part of the show was a touching tribute to the horses left behind after the war and the poor Stockmen who had to walk away without their mate. This was very moving and a part of history we were unaware of. Despite being school holidays, we had the cinema room virtually all to ourselves as everyone had gone to the earlier session. Again, this was very informative and shared interesting parts of history. The museum itself is extremely well laid out. Our 4 kids ranging from 6 - 15 years really enjoyed doing the treasure hunt through the museum. This kept them engaged for almost 2 hours, allowing us adults to explore at our own pace. The staff were very friendly and happy to have a chat about various things. You can tell they have a heart for their town and it's history, which is very special.

What a great experience, Well worth taking your time and enjoy the museum, The short film prior to the show was very informative , The show itself is brilliant Stu and Kelly do a great job with humour and the facts making for an interesting time , MUST SEE ,

Loved the experience, digital technology was excellent to interact with. All the individual sound tracks just made you feel a real part of the stories told. Highly recommend and allow a few hours at least to take it all in.

Went in October so no shows. Was great though because it wasn't crowded at all. Excellent self paced tours with an ipod and earphones. Made a nice balance of reading and listening.

Excellent facility to learn about the drovers and pioneers of inland Australia that centres around the museum. The highlight however was the live stockman show that was both entertaining and informative. Don’t be surprised to be brought to tears towards the end of the very moving show. Entry is somewhat excessive, but justifiable as a once.

The Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame is a must see when you are visiting Longreach. I loved the collection of artefacts and all the Australian history. The demonstration of the live Outback Stockmans show was terrific . Stew and Kel did an amazing job. You can tell from the presentation that they are very passionate about the outback from the past to present days. The museum was very interactive and very kid friendly. All the staff were amazing and helpful. You will need about 3-4 hrs to take it all in. Great day for the whole family. I would definitely book online before going. There is also a cafe for refreshments that was reasonably priced.

We booked a hipcamp farm stay under the big hay shed, it was full with 7 vans on the first night very pleasant chatting with other campers, a nice small group. Very quiet after most of them left the next morning. Lots of land to walk or ride your bike around. Price includes power and they now have bathroom facilities with flushing toilets & showers.

Top place to stay. Not fancy but definitely worth it for the quiet and open paddock outlook

The marketing pictures and the description of the camp and facilities are not what is advertised. The camping location is one section of the front paddock, the camp is a Hay Shed and your site in the Hay Shed at best is 2 metres wide x 8 metres long and your camping neighbour is a meter away, and there’s one toilet. There are MUCH better camp sites in Ilfracombe and Longreach!

In September 2021, we drove to Longreach and opted to do a five day Tour with Outback Aussie Tours. Visiting Camden Park and meeting the Walker family, was the highlight for me. Outback Dan boarded our small bus as we entered the property and we drove to ‘the hill’ where Outback Dan’s Mum had set up drinks for us as we watched the sunset. Along the way Dan described various aspects of the property and we saw Mum pig with several piglets. He also offered us a job cleaning his 55,000 solar panels. 😀 We were made to feel very much a part of this lovely family who like others in the area, have suffered the effects of a 10 yr drought. It’s a tough life but they have diversified to keep the property going. It has been in the family for five generations. Sadly they had been forced to sell another property. After sunset we moved to the Shearing Shed where Brooke (Outback Dan’s wife) had prepared an amazing meal for us. White tablecloths, chandeliers and all. After dinner Dan took us outside for some stargazing and an opportunity to try whip cracking. The Walker family are very special and we were all made to feel part of their lives. It was a very memorable evening. Just wishing we could get back there again soon. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful supplier to work with! Outback Dan and his amazing family are always so willing and welcoming to all of our guests who visit Longreach. The station tour is so informative and really gives an amazing insight into life on the land. The tour is complimented by the delicious home cooked meal that is provided. A visit to Camden Park Station is a must when visiting Longreach!

The Walker family (the owners) give you the tour. They tell you about their lives and history of the place. Great country hospitality! Very nice historic home, with a large living room. Queen Elizabeth II visited this home. (I say that to show the importance of the family and the home at that time, I think it was around 1970, not celebrity adulation for the Queen.) One of my favourite activities in Longreach.

Fantastic morning out! Outback Dan was brilliant, kept us entertained and interested the entire time. Lovely hospitality from his parents as well who shared stories and tales. Morning tea was delicious!! And a special shout out to our driver, MJ! Excellent day out!

The 'Machinery Mile' is fascinating. It contains a beautiful collection of various machinery used throughout the district since the early 20th century. The machines are donated and well cared for by local volunteers. As a machinery fanatic, I spent no less than two hours combing through and photographing the collection. As it is on the main road through Ilfracombe you cannot miss it! Parking is plentiful, even for caravans. I'd love to add more photos, but the upload would take days!!

Good place to spot by and stretch your legs on your long journey across out back Queensland. Loads of interesting machineries on display.

Great collection of old machinery spread out along the highway. Well worth stopping in for a look

I was expecting this to be a boring display but holy smokes it’s interesting and fun and you can still see some working fan blades on the machines. Thoughtful benches and picnic tables throughout the short walk and a pub nearby if you need a beer to steady you after witnessing the glory of the machines.

It's free to visit and makes for a good rest stop. Selection of machinery, old gun display including WWII weapons, bottle collection and other assortment of items. When we visited we were the only ones there. The most interesting machines there were the converted WWII tanks which were modified for earthmoving.

Amazing collection of tractors, trucks and machinery from the last 100 years some the last of their kind around. Great for kids also to look and touch

Not to be missed Fabulous machinery but also cottages Well maintained and fascinating displays We bought a coffee at quaint country pub in early morning and enjoyed it thoroughly Free/donation

The Australian Workers Heritage Centre which is the only national attraction dedicated to celebrating the extraordinary legacy of working Australians. The Centre is spread across over two hectares of beautifully landscaped gardens surrounding a tranquil billabong, which presents exhibits capturing the spirit our nation's workers. Including the Story of the Great Shearer’s Strike 1891, 'Working Women' Project, a 'One Teacher School', 'Working for Health' exhibition, 'Kunwarara' Railway Station and the original Australian Workers Union Hall plus the original Celebrations Theatre from the Bicentennial Tour. Add this to your adventure list, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic history of workers struggles beginning with 1891 shearers' strike Tree of knowledge nearby and its progeny in the centre

Great extensive exhibition of all things Union! So good to learn and experience. So well done.

Really worth the 2.5 hrs spent here! You walk through early century original train carriages, police station, school buildings furnished with all the early school slates and memorabilia of the era. Ots is a really large group of buildings surrounding a shady lake setting with seating. Watch video of people and stories back in time of the shearing strike and origins of the labour party. A new entry to the Heritage Museum is just about finished in the main street.

An excellent museum/heritage centre with great exhibits illustrating various aspects of work and the development of trade unions and the labour movement in Qld and Australia, including the Shearer's strike of 1891. A much more down to earth and interesting centre than the nearby and much hyped Stockman's Hall of Fame in Longreach.

What a wonderful experience, we were surprised by what was inside from the billabong and gardens to the buildings to the trains the Aust Heritage museum is more than a museum, it's our history. Well worth the visit we wish we had.more time. Sept 25

This would have to be the best Australian heritage centre I have ever visited, the amount of history held here from all over Queensland and Australia is astronomical, from local history to major Australian history, was so much fun for the family, and even spotted my wife in the museum, kids had alot of fun and even has a playground for them, the staff are so lovely and made the tour so pleasurable. Thank you very much to the staff today. We will be back for sure.

Well done Barcaldine amazing how the tree of knowledge is displayed and what a nice town clean friendly people was very surprised how great this little town is

A nice bit of QLD and Australian history. Unfortunately it currently has fences around it. No explanation of why. Still you can get a feel and perhaps more importantly, hear the haunting sounds of the timber wind chimes.

Very cool, love all the hanging chunks of timber. Well worth a look if you're passing through Barcaldine.

Was under maintenance and surrounded by a fence. Still able to get a few decent pix and the information boards were accessible.

Great at sunset! Some maintenance going on so it was fenced off

Very tastefully presented bit of history. Well maintained.

You would not drive through Barcaldine without stopping at the Tree of Knowledge and the boards documenting the history that surrounds it.

Interesting to find out how they go through the process and how the croc was found. Coffee shop attached to it. Open from 8:30 in morning till just after lunch

Nice place to visit while waiting on a coffee at the cafe below. Interesting local history facts and finds.

Great new TI, cafe centre. Old shop fronts with vintage wares along the main street

Great service from the cafe. 👍

Small but well done and informative. Friendly cafe with good coffee

Interesting self guided displays regarding local fossils

Amazing display in Isisford. Very informative and interesting

One of the best attractions I have visited in my outback travels. Maybe not as slick in presentation as some, but this Woolscour has been lovingly restored and maintained such that little imagination is required to feel the experience of early 1900's. That the machinery worked at the throw of a switch blew my mind. Our guide, Jeff, had worked there and was authentic and entertaining. Great tour.

Really great, everyone should do this. Has a few times a day they do tours, great tour guide

A very interesting and informative tour of such an important part of history. The guide, Scottie, is an incredible source of knowledge and conveys it so engagingly to the visitors. Highly recommend.

Fabulous enlightenment that wool isn't just about the shearers. So much more to getting wool to the retailer that we never considered. Well set out, manicured green lawns. Machinery great in working order to give you appreciation of what was needed over 100 years ago and still runs. Our guide was very knowledgeable.

A very worthwhile tour. Amazing to see the machinery still working as it did back in the day. Do check the tour times.

Highly recommend a visit. Scott our tour guide was very knowledgeable and presented the tour very well. What an important part of Australia's history and how fortunate that it has been restored and opened to share this history.

Excellent tour and super interesting

Called into the visitors centre at 4.55om. You would think most would be getting ready to go home but could not be further from the truth. Paid for the donation camping ground ($10/night) got told where all the facilities were and made suggestions on things to see. All with a smile and a laugh. Very impressive.

Alison was very friendly and helpful. Told us about the woolscour and the amazing artesian pool.

The day I popped in I couldn't get much assistance with locating good birding spots. There are lots of twitchers out there and in most places one can access a bird list as well as locations to spot birds. I did find the local bird hide, which has been exceptionally well constructed, but it is a very poor location.

Very helpful staff, all questions answered

Great friendly place. Lots of history.

The lady while friendly enough, didn't offer as much info, or seem to want to talk, as much as other TIC have. This centre also acts as a community hub, with library and playgroup utilizing the building.

Best TI locality with large museum on grounds.

Nice piece of Australian history signed to give information well done Blackall friendly town also

It is just a simple stump of wood in town with historical significance. It is right on the street, free viewing.

Small replacement of a historical landmark. There was not much to do around nor a significant reason to stop. The actual location itself is easy to miss, and could use some sort of place-setting to make the atraction more apparent. There is some singing from the town, however it is in fact easy to miss. Still recommend a stop if you're passing by.

That makes it "back o bourke" and beyond the black stump in a week. Gotta love outback travelling

Interesting info, now I know where the saying about the Black stump came from.

For a only a small detour (one block behind the school) off the highway, you can stop by and see 'The Black Stump' - an imaginary point beyond which the country is considered remote. Tell your friends that you've travelled beyond The Black Stump! A great distance indeed.

Easy to miss, but how can you NOT celebrate THE Black Stump!

A must visit in Blackall, very reasonable prices, noodles supplied, friendly staff, most enjoyable, highly recommended.

Great place to visit the best thing I enjoyed was the hot spa,s here .it's a must .great food and cheap entry fee . Staff were very friendly too .

Artesian pools, great in the morning, several temps, only $3 entry (adult). Coffee was on special and staff were very friendly.

A fabulous oasis - part of the artesian basin. Felt fabulous after a soak. Parked our van right outside the gate & paid the ridiculously low entrance fee of $2

Best value aquatic centre in Australia!!! $5 a family, different array of pools/spas and temperatures as well as a great icecream selection. If you are within 100km of Blackall this is a MUST!

Oh gosh this was an awesome place reminded me of Moree Hot Springs very spacious pools with beautiful Artesian waters our body felt amazing when we stepped out we didn't want to leave if you to love to swim in beautiful natural warm waters you will love this as we did ❤️

This beautiful centre is such a credit to Blackall. Artesian fed, so different pools with different levels of warmth of water. So glad we stopped to enjoy this facility.

What an amazing art gallery. A must see if you are travelling through or staying in Tambo. Artwork and other gifts are available for purchase - also online.

Free entry and best way to view artworks and if you are keen, you can buy the painting too.

Beautiful gallery, definately stop in when you are in Tambo. Amazing artwork.

There’s obviously some talented creatives and artists in the region. Well worth stopping for a look.

Delicious coffee & vanilla slice, clean presentable venue

As always I am ever impressed with the teddies from Tambo Teddies. The only problem I have is they're all so darn beaut!! So far I've managed to curb myself from getting a massive collection of your wonderful bears. I do not know how successful i will be at stopping myself. Well Done Tambo Teddies. You're all such a great team. THANK YOU!! For sharing the Love of Teddy Bears!!!!!

Having family in the Tambo area, I visited Tambo Teddies again recently - as I do each trip. Over the years I have bought several Teddies as gifts for family & friends - they're such a beautiful and unique present, full of country charm. A true Aussie treasure.

Tambo Teddies. AMAZING. I am so in love with my Toby Teddy Softie Spotty. To be lucky enough to own one of these gorgeous teddies is one thing, but to also be lucky enough to experience the wonderful customer service and commitment from everyone at Tambo Teddies really is something else. Believe what you read people! Tambo Teddies and the people behind them are super special. Thank you! A solid 5 stars from me.

I'm so glad I picked up a Tambo Teddy when I went through this town. I spent a good hour in this little town on my way to Longreach. I know these Teddies can be purchased online, but if you can go to Tambo and buy one from the shop, you won’t be disappointed.

Such a lovely store in Tambo and the lady working was divine to speak with and she explained all about the bears to the kids. Such a welcoming space and the bears are so beautiful and good quality.

The most gorgeous teddies (one for each of my new grand babies)... and warm, friendly customer service... I feel like I am part of the Tambo Teddies family now!

Fabulous and fast delivery of the high quality, Australian made, beautiful Mrs Stockman teddy. It was such a lovely gift for our overseas guest to take home. Thank you!

Love BIG things. Good on Augathella for having a crack. We called in to have a look and stayed 2 days

Meat Ant park in the middle of Augathella, a huge and on a power pole. This park has alot of history to read. Great place to visit

Interesting little park, must see the big meat ant.

Our kids had a good time in the space in a quick stopover for lunch. Nice little spot.

A wonderful place for a break. A beautiful setting. Free BBQ, table and chairs, water and toilets. A cross the street from the Grocer

Augathella, great little place, buy some meat at the butcher and have a meal at the pub spend some money in the town

Great park and the Meat Ant sculpture is well worth seeing, just up the street is a fantastic painted silo. Take the time to stop in Augathella and support a country town that supports travellers

I rarely leave negative reviews, but unfortunately this the worst restaurant experience ever it was far below expectations. From the start, service was slow and inattentive — we waited nearly 20 minutes just to place our order, and getting the staff’s attention felt like an uphill battle throughout the night. The food was underwhelming. I ordered a rib fillet steak which arrived lukewarm and lacked flavor. The presentation was sloppy, and it seemed like little care went into preparing the other meals. Others at the table had similar complaints — either their food was overcooked, cold, or simply blan or did not come out. For the prices being charged, I expected much better quality. The ambiance also left much to be desired. The restaurant was uncomfortably quite and the seating felt cramped. Not exactly the relaxing evening I had hoped for. To be fair, the drinks were decent, and one of the servers was apologetic, but it wasn’t enough to salvage the experience. Sadly, I won’t be returning — there are too many better options in the area.

Lovely old building with history, the main bar is the biggest I’ve ever seen in a pub. The young lady working the bar was great and cheerful. We ordered lunch and ate out in the beer garden that had newish outdoor tables and seating. The meals were well priced however not quite satisfactory for me as my rissoles were on the dry side but tasty all the same. Our group of 4 were very happy we stopped in for a feed and a few ales.

Due to last minute changes, had to book a heritage room. Which could be nice if you are into that kind of thing. However, the tv didn't work and nor did the bathroom night. No bedside light, only the main room light. The ensuite needs some love. Also, expect to be woken up early, especially if John is staying. BANG BANG John! BANG BANG John are you awake? BANG At 4:45am. Well, we all are now.

Fantastic grand old pub. Built in 1929 by Harry Cornes, a Greek imigrant who showed up in Sydney with a suitcase and no English, it's been restored yo as close yo original as they can get and is heritage listed. Largest bar top in the southern hemisphere... since the one Muldura was divided up, and great friendly service. They have a restaurant but it only opens through autumn, winter and spring, so is currently closed. You can book a tour to see around and here about the history of the pub, seeing some rooms that are locked to everyone except those on the tour. It's well worthwhile doing. This pub was the place to stay in the West, and it's hosted PM'S m, Royalty and celebs over it's history. It's just a shame the ball room hass been turned into a bottlemart!! Would recommend popping in for a drink and look around.

Stopped in for a cold one and a counter meal after a long couple of days on the road.beer was ice cold meal was a good country pub feed and staff friendly. Amazing bar and architecture worth a look at this grand old place must of been absolutely incredible in its day.

Shocking experience. As a past Charleville resident and having to attend a family funeral we chose to book a number of rooms 7 days before our arrival online. We We were immediately emailed demanding payment upfront as they had tried to put through the full amount on the nominated credit card with the booking. The online booking terms clearly stated payment on arrival. I keep a specific card for work travel purposes and transfer funds as required to avoid this sort of unscrupulous behaviour. When I rang to ask why they were attempting to bill the entire amount contrary to the online terms I was told to pay up as that is their new policy or they would cancel our booking. When I said I was not happy for them to bill me they hung up. Very sad state of affairs for what once was an amazing hotel.

The hotel was unwillingly to give us a refund due to us not physically having the means to travel all the way around through inland New South Wales via Broken Hill from our current destination to Birdsville in time to keep our booking We were south at Marree and both Oodnadatta and Strezlecki track are now closed. Tried calling a number of times beforehand with no answer or coverage in remote Australia. Trying to support inland local business and they make decisions like this (mind you - other businesses in South Australia have been most accommodating).

Staff are full of joy and are happy to see you. I didn't have any problem getting answers to my questions, questions I suppose they had heard a thoutimes before. A must to visit.

A great place to learn about the plight of the Bilby & also see some live specimens

All the tours we did were extremely professional and informative. The presenters were outstanding. Lilly who did the WWII tag along was the best we have encountered across the whole of Australia. Well done Charleville.

Very helpful and friendly with good local knowledge. The highlight of the area was the Charleville WW11 base that has a secret. And what a secret!!! If you are a history buff, or you just want to know what even the Australian Govt didn't know over that period, you will have to visit if you are out that way. It is a tag along tour. The WW2 museum is well worth seeing as well, very well done. You can google and ring to book or book through the information centre. If you have served you will receive a discount.

Very helpful staff, organised my two free days expertly.

What wonderful helpful tourist information service All attraction explained Booked and huge thanks to

Great for information by friendly staff while visiting Charleville!!

My second visit and Sophie did a fantastic job of presenting and displaying the bilbies. Please go to this experience when you're in Charleville, the proceeds go towards protecting and breeding the bilbies which are endangered due to cats and foxes. The bilbies are gorgeous.

One hour guided tour with history of the Bilby, conservation efforts and then time viewing some bilbies. Very interesting, informative, and the viewing was fabulous. May be the only time I get to see bilbies. Highly recommend to anyone travelling through Charleville, QLD.

Very educational. The Bilbys are so cute and need to be saved. I'm glad they have put things in place to keep them safe.

Highly recommend this experience and supporting this cause. A really informative and interesting presentation on the plight of the Bilby followed by an opportunity to view them in their nocturnal environment. The presenter we had was so passionate, energetic and engaging, it was hard not to fall in love with these unique and threatened little marsupials. A great experience and a must do if in Charleville.

The presenter had fantastic energy, and gave a detailed and fun information presentation. Then we split into two groups half watching a video or shopping, and half seeing the Bilbies for 10-15minutes. Then we swapped. That kept numbers in the viewing room low which meant everyone got a great view.

Absolutely wonderful little visit. Our tour guide, Caroline I think it was, was very funny and informative! You really get a sense of passion for teaching people about bilbys, why theyre endangered, what they are doing about it and what you can do too. I’ll be sure to spread the word of bilbys!

A very interesting Bilby experience. Too see them close up was a real treat. Great staff that are only to happy to answer any of our questions. The work that goes on behind the scenes to keep them protected must be commended.

Very interesting tour of historic WW2 sites on the outskirts of town (Charleville) that is run as a tag-along tour. Lots of interesting stories and facts. Quite surprised by the extent of infrastructure built to protection Australia from Japanese invasion. We also visited the museum devoted to to the history of Australian & American activities around Charleville. Staff were very enthusiastic and helpful.

Great little museum telling about the US troops stationed in Charleville during WWII. Very well laid out with interesting videos and lots of information about what it was like for the US troops and their interaction with locals. The man on reception was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our time.

We visited both the museum and the tour. Clayton was an amazing guide and his stories about the secret base in Charleville were both interesting and entertaining! The museum offered an immersive experience and was well maintained! We highly recommend a visit!

We did the tag along tour and the museum. The tag along guide, Clayton, was excellent and very informative. The museum is also well laid out with good exhibits and information. This is definitely a must do in Charleville. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed it.

We did the tag along tour with guide, Bill. Thoroughly recommend this if you're staying in Charleville. You will need your own car ( no need for 4wd) as you follow the tour guide around. There are 7 areas that you go to. You get out and listen to the importance of the site and what was there during the time the US forces were stationed there. Amazing to know 2500 US personnel lived and worked on the base. I won't give away the reason it was a secret base, you can find out for yourself! Thanks Bill, your knowledge and willingness to share it was fantastic!

The value and the museum and the tour great value. To an ex soldier with an interest in military history, this was eye opening. I had no idea how much a significant role Charleville played during WW2. "Made your day" our tour guide was something else, haven grown up in Charleville not only gave a great insight to the tour but also offered an insight to other local history. I loved your sense of humour, thank you!! Coffee

I didn't know anything about this base before I went. It was fascinating visiting the museum and touring the remnants of the base, hearing the stories of what they did and how they operated. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate with a great sense of humour.

Very big telescopes to look at the night sky and see galaxies and stars in the Milky Way. Quite an informative session. It was rather cold outside so need to be prepared and it is not suitable for the vision challenged, e.g. older people. Also, I think it was a bit too expensive for what we got out of it.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Lots of information, but unfortunately the interactive displays were being upgraded. If you wish to do the paid tours, I would suggest you book ahead.

Cosmos Centre is a good place to visit. It is an interesting building with lots of displays, touristy knick knacks (including frozen ice cream!) and friendly staff. We saw two 30 minute movie presentations in the impressive Planetarium - Oasis in Space and Forward to the Moon - that were very informative, but the highlight was the night stargazing. It was cold, but the sky was clear and there was a wonderful view of many stars that you can't see when you live in or near the city. The use of the telescope showed various sights, the moon, Mars, the jewel box and more. The chief host, Wade, was full of facts and figures with a friendly manner and he was ably supported by a team that operated the four telescopes. We all took turns to see the sights. All three events were well worth the moderate price and the stargazing was very good and fun. Just take your coat during the winter months!

Came all the way out to Charleville just for this and wow what an awesome experience! Staff are so knowledgeable and friendly, especially our telescope operator Lara. Absolutely loved it! Highly recommend to anyone coming through Queensland.

We had a wonderful visit to the Cosmos Centre. We did the Sun Viewing in the afternoon. Truely staggering to be looking at the sun, seeing sun spots and flares from the surface and not having your eyeballs fried. Also did the Outback Stargazing tour. Great views of different stars and star clusters and the Moon. Unfortunately the Moon was pretty bright, so not a lot of clear Milky Way viewing, but that's the night sky for you! The staff were super helpful and keen to share their love of astronomy. Big thanks to Ash and the team, and to Alex. I'd love to return on a moonless night to check out the Premium Stargazing, as well as the Planetarium shows.

It was a cloudy night the night we went, but we got a great show of our galaxy and experience from the knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended

We visited the Cosmos Centre for the daytime ‘sun viewing’ experience. What an incredible place..the staff are so welcoming and passionate about what they do. The planetarium movie experience is another must do’ it was fabulous. Overall an amazing experience and we highly recommend when visiting Charleville!

Really enjoyed this museum. I donate every month to RFDS and I thought I knew about the services they provide but they provide a lot more services than I realised. Well done RFDS.

A well prepared historical display of how this amazing service has developed over the years. Office only open Monday to Friday but visitor centre open on weekends to view display.

So informative. It really makes you appreciate the work they do, and how much the public rely on them. Lots of interactive displays. Free entry, enough parking and merchandise to purchase to aid the cause.

Great little museum, free entry. Interesting information and interactive displays. Plenty of parking including for vans.

Small, but informative. Free admission, a donation is always appreciated.

As a nurse I held great interest in learning about the history of the RFDS and I wasn’t disappointed at all. Great interactive displays for kids all ages. The history of laid out in easy to read boards and videos show patient stories. I was surprised to learn about all the the RFDS do in rural and remote locations. Well worth a visit to support an essential service within outback Australia

This is a free self paced tour around a display and video presentation about the royal flying doctor service and its history, really good

Nice, easy bushwalk. Well marked tree identification. BBQ, toilet.

National parks are great, for the wildlife and nature conservation, but the hiking trail leading into tregole national park is just a bit boring. Just plain woodlands, without any change in landscape.

Interesting from a botanical perspective. This park protects a remnant of an ooline ecosystem. 2 km walk with marked trees. Picnic tables, gas BBQ, information board, toilet and a small water tank. Sealed road access.

Not much to see, mainly trees.

Great little national park with signs on many different vegetation types I have seen many of the different types of trees and plants but didn't know their names. Well worth the short trip- some good dirt.

Nice peaceful place

Nice walk through this type of NP 1 and half hour walk toilets barbecue picnic table easy walk

The Information Centre is found in the centre of town next to the Big Cunnamulla Fella. The lady at the Information Centre was friendly and informative. She even phoned Bowra Sanctuary for us who confirmed that the road was still closed due to the floods. It is nicely decorated inside and outside is many placards of ladies and red shoes reminding us of women that experience violence and how it is not acceptable in this day and age.

Such an interesting place connected to the museum. The staff were so helpful with historic info and up to date road conditions. Thank you

Great visitor information centre, attached is the museum and time tunnel. A great look back in time, with interactive boots and a video on the artesian water. Worth a look.

At back of visitors centre is the Artesian time tunnel $10 a person.very good 😊

Really great little info centre. Paid for the museum and art gallery and was impressed with the creative way of using the Artesian Time Tunnel. Lots of old stuff in the museum, and the art gallery of road signs was really interesting. Use the torches to check them out for a different look!! Also a great collection of old bottles. Worth seeing.

Excellent information centre. Quality souvenirs and local items to purchase. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. In the same building, they have an excellent museum for a moderate fee. There are some fun attractions inside and a lot of historical vintage artefacts, we enjoyed the 30-minute movie about the artesian water basin that serves the outback.

Well presented information centre. Lots of items to purchase and information. Young staff need to learn to arrive earlier than 10.05am on a Sunday to open especially when required to complete cash reconciliation and open museum area.

This Station was once the terminus for the western line. It will never see a train again after the Angelalla Creek Bridge Explosion. a real shame, really.

The show “All onboard” was great! Really worth seeing!!

The station is undertaking a major revamp with a light and sound show coming soon.

Bit of history

A beautiful, self-guided, interpretive bush-walk. Tracks are well-maintained and mowed. There is a problem with weed infestation, that has to be addressed before the reserve passes the point of no return. The lagoon precinct was our favourite part of our walk, with a beautiful Red-backed Kingfisher sunning itself in a dead tree-branch beside the water. Thank You, Cunnamulla!

A beautiful hidden gem in Cunnamulla. We enjoyed a lovely leisurely stroll through the various ecosystems, saw lots of bird life and a shy turtle that popped its head up as we walked by. Well done Cunnamulla, this is a lovely spot.

Beautiful tranquil gardens with lots of birdlife and a flat easy walk. Had a very pleasant hour or so here.

Well done Cunnamulla a great walk and educational regarding the town and surrounding areas. Worth a walk

We planted a row of trees as part of our Geocaching event. 40 trees. Hope they grow.

Great little place. A fair amount of effort has gone into it. The town should be commended. Lucky enough to see several bird species. Got a great photo of a variegated wren. Very peaceful.

Stopped here to stretch and have a cup of tea, a great place to break the journey. Plantings attract lots of birds. Far enough off the road to be quiet and safe. There should be more places like this.

Bradley was great! The tour was really good. Great place to visit and enjoy.

We enjoyed an absolutely brilliant tour by Bradley this afternoon. What an incredible tour through the Brewarrina Aboriginal Cultural Museum and explanation of the fish traps. So enlightening and sobering to learn local history and the travesties of the past. If you are anywhere close to Brewarrina don’t miss a tour, which run four times each day. Check their website for details.

What a find! We stoped to have lunch and asked if we could sit at their tables outside the Museum. Bradley introduced Himself and offered to give us a tour and what a tour of the museum it was so informative and so worth it! If you have time stop and check it out!

Well worth a visit. Very informative tour guide. Adds to a broader understanding of the traps and Aboriginal connection to the area.

For such an important cultural landmark, the museum sadly does not live up to its potential in 2021. This globally significant site offers so many important stories and an immersive experience for locals and tourists, but the way it is currently managed is an embarrassment. We visited as a large family group at midday on Saturday of the June Long Weekend, only to be informed that we were fortunate to visit ad hoc, only because there was an interstate bus tour group booked for 1pm which we could join. For perspective: this was the big weekend when the annual "Big Fish" competition occurs and "nearby" Longreach is booked out with grey nomads and winter travellers - i.e. "the busiest weekend of the year". It seemed like the staff were antagonistic because they were forced to work on a long weekend, or perhaps it was because they had to deal with 40 customers paying $20 cash each to visit. Our local Indigenous relatives and farmer friends informed us that opening hours were inconsistent to non-existent - apparently it is closed more often than not despite Google informing us that it's open 9-5 Mon-Sat. This is simply not good enough, especially for a struggling outback community in a fractured tourism market. Guide Bradley was extremely knowledgable and entertaining despite his somewhat confrontational manner. I'm not sure which tourism qualifications teach guides to denigrate their customers during a tour, to constantly inform customers how incorrect Google is, or to bristle at reasonable questions, but that was our experience and it added to the fun. Bradley's in-depth knowledge and personality deserved a better forum than one where 80% of the lighting is unserviceable, where displays were not functional, and where he had to resort to demonstrating important cultural information on his small mobile phone screen, in poor light to 40 people crammed into a stuffy space. In fairness, Bradley did inform us that a video presentation renovation was coming soon. Shame it wasn't available for the busiest weekend of the year. Despite these negative comments the displays and presentations offered much and we were glad to visit. The highlight was Bradley's demonstration of the Fish Trap workings from high on the river bank (even despite the high river level). Although this could be witnessed as a self-guided tour for free, Bradley's entertaining descriptions were very well received. After this demo the group was left to drift off while the gates were hurriedly closed, rather than receive a rousing conclusion or a culturally aware send off. Perhaps the staff had a fish to catch. If the Culture Museum is to flourish, I strongly believe that they must offer a more professional service for $20 cash (no EFTPOS). Perhaps a small certificate, souvenir local soap, or free tea and damper would provide a more fitting memento to visitors that have travelled hundreds if not thousands of km to visit. I read that the museum was funded by government and expect that is still the case, so it would be fair to expect that $800 cash takings might go towards fixing the lights (at the very least). Some of the artwork and artefacts were fantastic but were mostly difficult to see in the dark. Overall my family were underwhelmed, while we overheard others from the bus group voicing similar criticisms of the facility and attitude of the staff. I strongly suspect other reviewers here and on Trip Advisor are being too polite. I look forward to visiting again and hope to see some improvements in the near future.

Fantastic experience learning about the historic fish traps & a bit of Aboriginal history. I first learned about this place from the book Dark Emu by Bruce Pascoe. Bradley 3 did a great job & the other staff were lovely too. If you want to learn about the oldest culture in the world, this is a good start.

Come to this place, seriously. The tour teaches the Old Ways, answering for me some personal questions. The tour guide teaches about the ancient culture and the museum contains many cultural artefacts. Of great significance are the fish traps in the river and I could picture people of old hanging out and catching fish. Beautiful commentary, imagine.. if you knew how exactly to land a particular fish with your bare hands. It’s simple when you know how! ‘We don’t own the land, we belong to it And we share it.’

Very helpful young Gentleman, gave us heaps of information we needed also suggested a shorter route that google didn't recommend due to the roads being recently sealed, which cut 1 hour off our trip too Lightning Ridge.

Meet a very knowledgeable young man at this visitors info centre gave us all the info & then some we needed even going g to the extent of showing us the bridge all done up for Christmas was so good

Tidy centre, plenty of parking and one covered table and chairs. Toilets with John Murray murals as you arrive. Also very clean and tidy amenities accessible via the information centre shop. Great little shop with Brewarrina keep sakes, lovely happy staff.

Not many tourist brochures. Water fill up behind building

Very informative pity should have gone there first up to find out about time tables to various guided tours Stayed 2 days

Staff very friendly and helpful.

The two young people manning the centre yesterday were so pleasant and over the top helpful. I needed a dentist and they rang the Brewarrina, Bourke and Cobar hospitals finding out information for me. So very grateful. Thank you
