Boulia itself is an amazing little town, not much more than
a village, flanked on one side by a vast plain and on the other by the
Burke River. The vistas are superb in this area: low plains spreading to
the horizon, crumbling mesas and bizarre, jumbled rock formations.
Boulia is also focal point for the annual Desert Sands Camel Races on the third weekend
of each July. These races are Australia's
largest professional camel racing event and attract thousands of visitors.
Comfortable, air-conditioned accommodation can be found at the Desert Sands Motel and
pub accommodation at the Australian Hotel.
Boulia lies 300km south of Mount Isa
or 350km west of Winton on the sealed
Min Min byway.
