A scenic view of Longreach

From Longreach, you can take an epic road trip to Birdsville and the natural wonders of the Simpson Desert. Stop along the way to explore the waterholes and wetlands of the Lochern and Diamantina National Parks. Both have great bushwalking, bird-watching, and canoeing trails, alongside low-cost camping areas for tents or camper trailers. You can also explore the 1,812-kilometre Matilda Way, which runs all the way from the NSW border to Karumba on the north coast. From Longreach (about halfway along the route), drive your motorhome north along the Landsborough Highway to Winton, the Dinosaur Capital of Australia.
