On its journey west from Brisbane, the Spirit of the Outback
ventures through the heritage towns of Rockhampton, Blackwater, Emerald and
Barcaldine before arriving in Longreach, home to the famous Australian
Stockman's Hall of Fame, Qantas Founders Museum and the Outback Heritage
Centre.
Although the legendary town of Longreach marks the end of
the line, from here there are coach connections to Winton and a host of
surrounding attractions including the Historic Wellshot Hotel, Lark Quarry
Dinosaur Footprints, Blackall's Historical Woolscour and Jacky Howe, the Australian
Worker's Heritage Centre and the Waltzing Matilda Cultural Centre.
The Spirit of the Outback travels twice a week in either
direction offering a unique insight into the history and culture of early
