Review of travel to Outback Australia OUTBACK QUEENSLAND
Calling Code: +61

   Fully sealed highways criss-cross Queensland's Outback and the scattering of towns has a great mix of accommodation ranging from modern motels to heritage hotels and inexpensive caravan parks to cattle station stays.

All this in a landscape that defies the imagination: grassy plains spreading to the horizon; vivid red mesas lying in broken lines against the sky; coolibah-lined rivers flush with fish and bird life.

Far-flung towns run everything from picnic races to lizard races and rodeos to poetry festivals. And autumn, winter and spring is when the west comes alive. The weather's fantastic at this time: warm sunny days and cool nights, lit by an unbelievable spangle of stars.

Access to Queensland's Outback is easy, with major highways fully sealed, major towns served by flights from Brisbane and Queensland coastal cities, an extensive coach network and three different passenger train services.
