Far West Adventure Drive

The Far West Adventure is a self drive tour which begins in the Central West heartland town of Longreach, passes through the Far West shires of Barcoo, Diamantina and Boulia, and finally finishes in the North West town of Mount Isa. Allow at least one week for this 1394 kilometre adventure loop where you'll discover historic and remote outback towns, meet local characters and hear their stories. Experience the magnificent Welford National Park with its red river gum and coolabah lined waters. Visit the ghost town of Betoota and explore Aboriginal cultural attractions. Take in an amazing sunset atop Big Red sand hill on the edge of the Simpson Desert, learn about Boulia's mysterious Min Min Light then drive through ever-changing landscapes to Mount Isa.
