Today's drive will take you though Ifracombe, a small western Queensland township of less than 350 people, which was once one of Australia's great wool growing districts. Make time to inspect the row of restored old machinery alongside the road, referred to locally as 'machinery mile'. In Longreach, take a tour through the pastoralist town on a historic Cobb and Co. Coach, and make time to head just out of town to visit a working sheep and cattle station. The Stockman's Hall of Fame is a dynamic tribute to Australia's rural history and will take hours to explore thoroughly. The Qantas Founders Museum pays homage to the humble beginnings of Australia's national airline, and it's right opposite the Longreach School of Distance Education, which offers daily tours, that provides a quality education to primary and secondary students within a 1000 kilometre or more radius via satellite internet.
