The outback takes us back to our roots, to the heart of what makes us Australian, reminding us of how lucky we are to live in this incredible country.
A road trip through the Outback is a fantastic, and utterly iconic way to view this majestic and historical part of our country. Driving across the open roads, with the vast blue sky hugging the red earth, you can imagine a time when dinosaurs roamed here across the plains, or picture how indigenous people worked and lived for tens of thousands of years in this sacred part of the world. Add in quirky Outback events and cultural festivals, iconic attractions and museums – and your road trip is complete.
When it comes to choosing how to drive through the Outback, you’re only limited by your dreams. If you’re starting from Brisbane, you can weave your way through to Birdsville, past the largest cattle yards in the southern hemisphere. From Sydney, you can traverse your way through incredible national parks to Rockhampton or Cooktown. From Melbourne, go from bush to beach, finally stopping on the Capricorn Coast. Wherever you are in Australia, Outback Queensland is waiting to reveal its secrets to you. An outback road trip adventure is the best way to discover our country.
