Destination: Central Outback Queensland

September, ‘tis the start of spring’ and a good month to head up north of Brisbane.

This year storms have rolled in early but with warmer weather, surf’s up, swimming is possible and Whale Watching is in full swing in Hervey Bay.

There’s a known road trip worth having a look at. It gives a taste of the outback, country and coastal towns, history and an opportunity to rejuvenate and explore.

The adventure takes anything up to two weeks… We thought this was going at a fast pace. See the journee.

Head toward Central Outback Queensland to experience:

Gladstone’s harbour
Rockhampton -the beef capital
Emerald for a gem stone or two
Typical local pubs
Longreach – Qantas’ and the Stockman’s hall of fame
Winton -discover the legend behind ‘Waltzing Matilda’
Just beyond Winton is the famous Walk-About-Creek pub (home of Croc dundee) in one direction and the dinosaur stampede in another.
Carnarvon Gorge – spot platypus and turtles, swim in fresh pools and take an Aboriginal walk to cave rock art.
