Longreach Queensland

Visit world-renowned museums in Longreach
As you roll into Longreach the unmistakable red and white livery of a Qantas jumbo jet dominates the skyline from kilometres away. Inside the dedicated museum, you’ll uncover many a story linked to the founding of Australia’s national airline.
Across the road, you’ll spot the shimmering curved roof of another Australian icon. Like Hugh Sawrey’s famed artwork A Vision Splendid, the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame pays tribute to the Aussie Stockman. The five themed galleries also celebrate the stories of Indigenous Australians, Pastoralists and Explorers.
Enjoy some old-fashioned experiences!
Feel the surge of adrenaline as you’re transported in a restored Cobb & Co stagecoach along the original Longreach-Windorah mail route. Follow the winding curve of the Thomson River or capture the glow of an outback sunset with Queensland Helicopters. Snap on a harness and step out on the wing of a Jumbo Jet at Qantas Founders Museum. An experience guaranteed to get the heart pumping!
Heighten your sunset experience with a river cruise and authentic outback entertainment. Choose to glide the waterway in old-world style aboard a paddle wheeler. Afterwards enjoy a traditional campfire dinner and old-time sound & light picture show. Or, relax on the top deck of a fully licensed catamaran as it cruises to Sunset Bend. Top it off with a two-course camp oven dinner and live entertainment on the river stage. But why should you choose when you can experience the best of both worlds and do both!
