Outback Queensland provides a lot more excitement than even the "Crocodile Dundee's" of the land try to show you. From lush oasis towns like Barcaldine to the stunning spectacle of the dinosaur footprints near Winton, you really will be amazed at the variety of things to do and see. The Stockman's Hall of Fame at Longreach at the end of the Matilda Highway, chronicles the history of the bush, or take the Yellowbelly Express through crocodile territory.

 Take a leap back to a time when you could leave your house and vehicle unlocked, when people stopped in the street to help others, and when you could just enjoy a beer on the raw timber bar without the noise of gambling and loud music.

The challenges faced by The Survivor players are obvious when you travel the huge expanse of red earth and arid landscape between attractions, but you can do it safely with a guide or following professional advice on travelling. What about trying Queensland Rail's great outback services. They even have a still-working 1930's rail motor at Normanton. Really a sight to behold !
