Evening Star

Top choice in Outback Queensland


This welcoming station property, one of the few station-stays left in outback Queensland, is only 8km northwest of Charleville but feels a world away. There's plenty of space for camping, a single en-suite cabin, a rustic bar and regular music around the campfire. Station tours are run on Wednesday and Saturday.
