Queensland

Central West

Where Qantas began, and "the black stump" actually stood

Out past the Central Highlands, where the towns thin out and the stories get bigger, Longreach is where Qantas took its first flights in 1920. Winton holds two of the region's best stories, one written in song, one in stone. Barcaldine and Blackall each guard their own piece of Australian history. Out here, the stories are as big as the horizon.
