Station stays in particular can provide you with an experience of a lifetime. Station stays are not just another place to spend a couple of hours catching some shut eye. They offer a unique experience of living life on the land. Many station stays allow you to join in on the everyday activities of a working sheep or cattle property. Some of the activities that you may be able to witness or participate in include: mustering, shearing, drafting, driving property vehicles, taking property tours, fencing, fishing and observing flora and fauna. Most station stays offer a variety of different accommodation facilities from the homestead to shearers’ quarters, from guest houses to cabins, and finally caravanning and camping sites. Staying at a station also offers an opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. The properties are usually off the beaten track and can offer a new perspective on outback travelling. So why not try something different and experience for yourself what life really is like on an Outback property.

Fishing Everyone knows about the rough and rugged landscapes of Queensland’s Outback, but most people are surprised to hear about the stunning waterways and great fishing opportunities this region has to offer. Queensland’s Outback plays host to diverse fishing habitats from peaceful coolibah-lined billabongs to mighty rivers like the Thomson and the Barcoo, and from great lakes to the expansive waterways of the channel country flowing towards Lake Eyre. The waterways of the Outback provide a habitat for a variety of wildlife and waterbirds, like pelicans, cormorants and herons. And of course, there’s the fish! Yellowbelly is the most likely catch in most of the Outback waterways, but there’s also sooty grunter, welch grunter, sleepy cod, Murray cod, barramundi (in the north), catfish and redclaw. To find out where the fish are biting, have a chat with the locals at the pub. They might even let you in on some of the best spots that have previously been closely-guarded local secrets, so you will feel like the first person to have ever fished in these waters. Other waterholes are frequented by locals and visitors alike, giving you the opportunity to meet with like-minded fishing folk. But all of them are guaranteed to give you a great Outback fishing experience. For free brochures on Freshwater Fishing in Inland Queensland, call 1800 247 966.

Visit Hughenden, Richmond and Winton on Australia’s Dinosaur Trail for your introduction to life during the Cretaceous Period. Discover the prehistoric creatures that roamed the land and marine reptiles which swam in ancient inland seas around 100 million years ago. You can also visit the world’s best-preserved dinosaur stampede at Lark Quarry Dinosaur Trackways near Winton. World Heritage listed Riversleigh, part of Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park, is the site of some unique fossil finds of previously unknown mammals, birds and reptiles, with some fossils in this region dating back 25 million years. Museums house fascinating displays of fossils and reconstructed dinosaur skeletons. Kronosaurus Korner in Richmond has displays of marine fossils and the Riversleigh Fossil Centre in Mount Isa interprets the megafauna from World Heritage listed Riversleigh Fossil Fields. The Flinders Discovery Centre in Hughenden houses an international fossil collection. Other great dinosaur and fossil centres include the Outer Barcoo Interpretive Centre in Isisford, the marine fossil display at Boulia’s Stonehouse Museum, the dinosaur diorama at Corfield & Fitzmaurice in Winton. There’s plenty of hands-on fossil fun to be had too. You are able to fossick for your own fossils in designated areas and, at certain Riversleigh Fossil Fields times in the year, you can join a tour to dig up the past on an organised fossil dig.

From stories of courage and survival to the gives you the chance to immerse yourself in the heritage and odd ‘tall tale’, the people are the beating heart of Queensland’s culture of the local communities. Outback pubs are bursting with Outback. Outback pubs serve as a meeting place for townsfolk and stockmen from surrounding stations, so are a great place to meet the local characters. They have always been an integral part of any community and have contributed strongly to Australian history through songs and movies, including Crocodile Dundee. Outback pubs are synonymous with Australian folklore and despite the passage of time and the many problems faced by regional areas, country pubs have retained their unique Australian character. Many city pubs have tried to copy them, but the only way to experience this unique part of Australian life is to visit a real Outback pub. Whether you drop into a pub for a hearty meal and a cold drink, or stay a few nights in an historic hotel, visiting a Great Outback Pub is sure to be a highlight of your travels. Keep your wits about you - you never know who you are going to run into and what experiences you will have.

  • PROGRESS REPORT - 23 JULY, 2020 Funding of Priorities Identified and Advocated Through the Inland Queensland Roads Action Project (IQ-RAP)
    PROGRESS REPORT - 23 JULY, 2020 Funding of Priorities Identified and Advocated through the Inland Queensland Roads Action Project (IQ-RAP) Page 1 INTRODUCTION TO THE INLAND QUEENSLAND ROADS ACTION PROJECT (IQ-RAP) The IQ-RAP was developed through consultation and engagement with local governments and industry peak bodies. Regional Roads Forums were convened in December 2013 in Longreach and in August 2014 in Mount Isa with participants coming from across inland Queensland. Regional Development Australia Townsville and North West Queensland (RDA) was requested and agreed to be the Secretariat and raised funds from partners in 2015. Funding support was forthcoming from 33 local governments that covered 82% of Queensland’s area, RACQ and 5 Regional Development Australia Committees. A Project Steering Committee was formed and consultants the Harrison Infrastructure Group (HIG) were engaged. In February, 2016 the Inland Queensland Roads Action Plan was launched. This was followed by extensive advocacy to the Australian and Queensland Governments and peak industry bodies through to mid-2018. In mid-2017 IQ-RAP partners agreed to extend the project and update the Plan into a new Inland Queensland Road Network Strategy, taking into account the funding commitments that had been made to priorities identified in 2016, carrying over the priorities that still required funding and updating the Multi- Criteria Analysis with new information. 28 local governments, 5 Regional Development Australia Committees and RACQ provided on-going funding support. Further extensive advocacy was undertaken. This document summarises the funding that has been secured for priorities identified and advocated through the Inland Queensland Roads Action Project (IQ-RAP) and the two major reports that were prepared by Harrison Infrastructure Group (HIG) and Regional Development Australia Townsville and North West Queensland (RDA).
