Outback
Queensland's Outback has it all — from the magnificent natural diversity of the Channel Country in the south west, the heritage-rich Matilda Country of the central west and the ancient lands of the Dinosaur, Fossil and Mining Country in the north west. And it's all right here in your own backyard!
South West
Stretching from Mitchell in the east, to Birdsville in the west, this region is a fusion of stunning red sand hills, abundant wildlife and magnificent flora and fauna.
With its picturesque bushwalking trails and unspoiled wilderness, the South West is the epitome of the 'natural' Outback.
Try your hand at fishing in the many billabongs, rivers and lakes, while admiring the countless species of birdlife.
Go camping and see stars which stretch forever, or take a four-wheel driving adventure over rugged plains.
Central West
Journey to the 'heart of the Outback' and experience the heritage and cultural history that has shaped the nation.
Explore the majestic landscape that inspired the lyrics to Banjo Paterson's iconic ballad which resonates with all Australians.
Discover the essence of the Outback and its people, woven into the rich tapestry that is 'Matilda country'.
Come and see where the legend of the stockman started, where Qantas carved its name in the history annals and where our pastoral industry began.
North West
Deep in dinosaur fossil country, the rocky terrain is harsh but beautiful, and the colours stark but striking.
Delve underground on a working mine tour, trek to breathtaking gorges or try your hand at fossicking.
Be amazed by stunning hidden lakes and dams and drop your line in for a spot of superb freshwater fishing.
The days are warm and dreamy, with cool, crisp nights. Enjoy camping by the river, surrounded only by the sound of tranquillity.
