Here’s your ultimate bucket list for Outback Queensland’s must-do experiences – all easily accessible with Rex.
Boobook Explore
Fly to Roma
Explore the Roma and Carnarvon regions with this eco-certified Boobook Explore. With an ecologist as your guide, you’ll explore Indigenous rock art and cultural sites, incredible sandstone rock formations and pockets of the Carnarvons that are rich in biodiversity and natural beauty.
Toogunna Plains
Fly to Quilpie
Between the towns of Quilpie and Eromanga, Toogunna Plains is a fifth-generation property with 18 stylish ensuite cabins and the opportunity for guests to fully immerse themselves in station life.
Tour the property by day and take a sunset sandhills tour at twilight. This once-in-a-lifetime experience will have you enjoying bubbles and a cheese platter as you take in the magic of an outback sunset on stunning sandhills overlooking the Channel Country.
Camel Racing
Fly to Bedourie or Boulia
Camel racing has been part of Outback life since the 19th century and is now considered a must-see experience, drawing spectators and competitors from across the country. Beyond the camel races you’ll find live entertainment, food and a host of novelty races culminating in epic events filled with entertainment and heart-stopping thrills. Stay for a week and journey between two of the Outback’s most iconic events – the Bedourie Camel Races on 11 July and Boulia Camel Races, held from 17 – 19 July, 2026.
Dark Sky Sanctuary
Fly to Winton (or Longreach)
Far away from the bright city lights, the skies of Outback Queensland are said to be amongst the most impressive in the world. Here, the night sky comes alive in an ancient map of stars, telling stories that have been shared for tens of thousands of years.
Leading the way is Winton, home to Australia’s first internationally certified Dark Sky Sanctuary. Astronomy guides explain the evolution of the night sky and its links to Earth as part of the Gondwana Stars Tour.
Charleville Cosmos Centre
Fly to Charleville
Charleville is also a great place for an exploration of our galaxy. Cosmos Centre offers experiences during
the day and night. The stars feel close enough to touch, with powerful telescopes revealing Saturn’s rings, distant galaxies and the shimmering Milky Way in breathtaking clarity.
