Quilpie to Windorah

Longreach, Queensland

From Quilpie you have the option of taking a short detour along the Cooper Developmental road to Eromanga. Eromanga is home to the internationally recognised Eromanga Natural History Museum where you can meet Australia's largest dinosaurs including 'Cooper' and 'George', who are in the top 10 largest dinosaurs in the world. The museum is three kilometres outside of Eromanga off the Mt. Margaret Road (all sealed roads!) Kyabra Road (which is also all sealed) will connect you back onto the Warrego Way. Windorah is smack bang in the middle of the channel country, a fertile area of grazing land that produces some of the world's best beef cattle. The term channel country refers to the intricate network of braided channels. Most of the time the water is confined to deep, permanent waterholes that are perfect spots for camping and fishing. Points of interest include the mirrored solar panels reflecting vibrant outback colours and the red sand hills, where you can watch the sun set from the crest of a magnificent red sand dune while sipping a glass of your favourite wine.
