Adventure into the Outback: Opalton's Hidden Gems and Longreach's Treasured Tales

Send us a text


What happens when a simple journey to Opalton turns into an
unforgettable adventure? Equipped with our capable off-road
vehicles, we finally conquered the challenging terrain that had
previously stopped us in our tracks. Join us as we set up camp at
the rustic Opalton Bush Camp, where simplicity meets serenity
with donkey boiler showers and expansive camping grounds. The
beauty of the outback revealed itself in unexpected ways,
offering both challenges and moments of pure wonder.

The real gem of Opalton, however, was our encounter with Glen,
the captivating opal miner whose humorous storytelling made our
stay so memorable. With his generous spirit, Glen led us on an
early morning tour to secret fossicking spots. Armed with buckets
and spray bottles that he generously provides for free, families
come together in the thrill of the opal hunt, forging bonds
amidst the rugged beauty of the landscape. The night's sky,
dotted with a billion stars and the crackling of our communal
fire, left a lasting mark, and we urge travellers to support
Glen’s unique crafts, a testament to the outback's authentic
charm.

Our journey continued to Longreach, with local wildlife sightings
and fascinating roadside attractions guiding the way, Longreach
proved to be a treasure trove of experiences. A highlight was the
Qantas Founders Museum, where we explored aviation history and
marveled at the iconic 747-200, thanks to insightful guides John
and Sarah. From the museum's art exhibits to its interactive
offerings, Longreach welcomed us with open arms, ensuring it
became a memorable chapter in our adventure across Outback
Queensland.
