Introducing Longreach
This prosperous outback town was the home of Qantas early last century, but these days it’s equally famous for the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame & Outback Heritage Centre, one of outback Queensland’s biggest attractions. Longreach’s human population is vastly outnumbered by more than a million sheep, and there’s a fair few cattle, too.
