Queensland Campervan Touring: Longreach

No town is a better example of the rugged beauty and the warm hospitality of the Australian outback than Longreach in central Queensland.

This thriving regional centre is a charming and rustic place to base yourself on a Queensland camper holiday that will embrace clear starry skies and wide open spaces.

Rich in history and heritage, this town has interesting residents that will have lots of fresh and exciting stories about their outback way of life. There are many places you can visit that pay tribute to the pioneering past of this far flung region of Queensland, but the most renowned is the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame. This Centre pays tribute to the unsung men and women who opened up outback Australia.

Longreach is also known as the birthplace of our national air carrier, Qantas. Here you can visit the Qantas Founders Outback Museum, wich documents the history of this airline. This is also the only place in the world where you can take a tour of a real and fully equipped 747 jumbo jet!

The scenery around these parts is spectacular and there is lots to see while driving around in your campervan hire. The Thomson River is great for fishing, and is especially pleasant for a sunset cruise. You can also climb the lookout where Captain Starlight hid his men, and enjoy superb views of the countryside while indulging in a bit of local history.
