Queensland Backcountry 2027

Discover the heart of Queensland on a 13-day, fully-escorted journey that takes you from the garden city of Toowoomba to the rugged beauty of Carnarvon Gorge, through historic towns like Roma and Mitchell, to the starlit skies of Charleville and Quilpie, and the pioneering spirit and world-class museums of Longreach. You’ll ride the Westlander, the iconic Spirit of the Outback, and enjoy a private charter of a retro-restored 1971 Queensland Rail Silver Bullet. Along the way, you’ll enjoy lunch at the historic Hotel Corones, explore the WWII Secrets Base, and do some stargazing in Charleville; experience a farm stay on the endless plains outside Quilpie; explore the Eromanga Natural History Museum, where prehistoric fossils come to life; savour a true Outback dinner on the banks of the Thomson River; visit the Australian Stockmans Hall of Fame and the Qantas Founders Museum in Longreach; delve into the region’s rich history, and immerse yourself in the natural wonders that make Queensland a truly unique destination.
